Overview
Theory - No portfolio required.
The module introduces key debates about the social, political and economic significance of the media and their institutions, and how these are changing. The module aims to provide an understanding of the relationship between media institutions, their output, and society appropriate to media professionals. By combining the study of the principles of media organisations with key theoretical approaches, we aim to equip students with knowledge and understanding of the key features of contemporary media environments.
Assessment: Participation and Directed Learning Log (15%) ; Written Critique (30%) ; Essay (55%). *All transcripts are issued in UK credits.
