DESCRIPTION
Media is a deeply significant part of our lives in contemporary society. We live through media: we learn news, connect with each other, find entertainment, and construct meaning. In this sense, mass media has become our world. What are 'the media' and how best can we understand them? This course will explore the history and theory about media, how the media shape our world, how it is made, and its effects on us. If you want perspective on the most pervasive shapers of cultures, communities, and individuals, this class is for you.
