COMM 103 - Intro to Mass Media
3 Credits
This course will provide students with a general overview of contemporary mass communication. We will focus on two kinds of issues: a) facts about media, including (briefly) history, regulation, economics, content, audience and other related matters and b) themes that can cut across media, such as the shrinking ownership of entertainment, which serve as the organizing principle of the course. Emphasis is placed on print media (newspapers, magazines, journalism) and audiovisual media (radio, recording, television, film, and computers). Students will gain greater understanding of the pervasive role of the media in their lives and the society in which they live.
