- Class Description:
COMM 3211 is a basic course in electronic communication in which we survey different aspects primarily of the electronic and digital media and their users in the U.S., starting with the history of radio and continuing through contemporary theories of media culture. Because the mass media saturate our everyday lives, it is important to understand their workings - in context. In this course, we will be concerned with placing our media in historical, political, legal, and cultural context so that we can view them as complex entities whose development and use sometimes result in unforeseen consequences. This course is intended to give you a general understanding of media, to acquaint you with major debates--both historical and contemporary-- surrounding electronic media, and to make you a more active and knowledgeable media user.
