JOUR 270 - Digital Media and Society

Institution:

Washington and Lee University

Subject:

Journalism and Mass Communications

Description:

Facebook, YouTube, and iPhones are popular, if not essential elements in college students’ busy lives. Being born into the digital age, students have grown up with profound and rapidly-changing media and communication technologies, yet likely take them for granted. This course takes an in-depth look at digital media, exploring the relationship between technology and social change. The concept of technological determinism guides our examination of social networking, online news/information, digital entertainment, and health online. Artwick.
