JNM 205 - Media and Society


An introduction to issues of media and society, providing a survey of modern media, as well as its political, social, and cultural uses. This course introduces students to some of the issues that have been central to the study of mediated forms of communication, along with the dominant modes, codes, and institutions that make up modern media. It will examine the factors that influence the media and, in turn, examine the influence of the media on prevailing attitudes, values, and behaviors. We will try to understand what it means to live in a “media age.”
