It looks at how various traditions of knowledge have sought to better understand the relationship between media and society. It corrects prevailing myths about media power and develops basic skills for engaging with different types of media. For example, how have scholars evaluated, measured, and theorised the impact of mass media forms such as print, television, and the internet on social and political life? Do “new” media and technologies demand to be understood in new ways, or can we utilize older systems of thought to better understand today’s rapidly changing media world? As future communication professionals, it is crucial that you understand the key concepts, debates, and conversations that have shaped your discipline.
