Historical development and current issues in electronic media technologies and programming. Effects of governmental, industrial, and public organizations on message content. Problem areas of electronic media.
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.

Historical development and current issues in electronic media technologies and programming. Effects of governmental, industrial, and public organizations on message content. Problem areas of electronic media.
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.

Historical development and current issues in electronic media technologies and programming. Effects of governmental, industrial, and public organizations on message content. Problem areas of electronic media.
Class Description:

The media are such a pervasive part of everyday life that their presence and power can sometimes go unnoticed. This course presents an introduction to critical media studies: the analysis of media technologies, texts, institutions, audiences, and practices with a focus on the historical, cultural, political, and economic contexts in which media operate. The purpose of this course is to help you become more than just consumers of the media, but students and critics of it as well. This condensed Maymester course will provide 1) an understanding of how media have evolved in particular forms (for example, from radio, TV, to the digital age); 2) an overview of analytical and theoretical approaches to the study of media, as well as 3) a survey of recent shifts in the media terrain that are having a significant impact on the future of media studies.
