What role does media play in our society? Do audiences define the actions of media or vice versa? Who owns and controls media? How does it affect us – mentally and socially? Introduction to Media Studies explores the theory and practice of both the Humanities and Social Science perspectives on the field. We also explore digital media industry jobs in each area of focus: radio, television, film, games, advertising, and internet.
Corresponds to RTF 305 at the University of Texas at Austin.
