COMM 101 - Introduction to Communication Studies

3 Credits

This course will examine the significance and context of media in past and contemporary society. Through an interdisciplinary comparative and historical lens, the course defines “media” broadly as including oral, print, theatrical, photographic, broadcast, cinematic, and digital cultural forms and practices. The course looks at the nature of mediated communication, the functions of media, the history of transformations in media and the institutions that help define media’s place in society. The issues explored during the semester revolve around the questions of how media shape society and in turn, how society shapes media. The course will integrate both theoretical and practical approaches
to understanding media and communication practices.
