MM 225 - Media History
Credit(s): 3
Media consumption and interaction are essential elements of citizenship in our ever-increasingly broadcast and streamed global culture. This course is designed as an exploration of the historical effects and role(s) of the mass media, particularly in western culture. The major forms of mass communication i.e. books, periodicals, recorded music, film, radio, television, and the internet will be covered. Special emphasis will be placed on critical analysis of how media messages have impacted individuals and societies, and on theories of communication. Students will move beyond being “consumers” of media to becoming “analysts” of media and its importance in the development of the contemporary culture.
