This course is an introduction to the study of mass media in today's society. We will critically explore media to gain an understanding of the historical, economic, regulatory, and ethical implications of the changing mass media landscape. Much of contemporary societies' expression of cultural beliefs, behaviors, and experiences occur through mass mediated communication; consumers and producers of media must be able to critically examine, interpret, and influence media messages. Through examining mass media in historical and contemporary society we will examine the impact of media on individuals, culture, and social systems.
