COMM 323 - MEDIA HISTORY


Credits: Three
In this course students consider the history, impact and effects of mass media (radio, television, film, print, the Internet). The written assignments, readings, and discussions will focus on the origins of mass media and how the industry produces and controls the content of what we read, see, and hear. Students will examine the components, criticisms and personalities in the development of the mass media and the ethical, legal, and market environments in which these developments exist.
