DESCRIPTION
This course gives students an overview of the main themes within Mass Communication, paying particular attention to the political, economic, cultural and technological influences on both the form and the nature of mass communication. The course considers the many ways that the form and content of mass media contribute to our understanding of the social and cultural world around us. It will examine the role of the state, organisations, and technology in the production and distribution of mass communication. This course will also look at how media messages are received and interpreted, considering the general effects of media at both the individual and the collective level.
