JOUR 1220: Communication and the Influence of Mass Media

The interdependent relationship between media technology and communication has evolved over the years to influence the audience's sense of nationalism, culture, and self-awareness. Students examine the effect of the media's historical transformations, from the screen culture surrounding television to the interactive modalities of online. They critically analyze how forms of communication media impact audience persuasion, financial incentive, collaborative connections, and diversity.
