COMM 1106 Mass Media
From the posts people scroll to the shows they stream, media shapes patterns of thought, communication, and connection. Students critically examine these influences by exploring media’s history, functions, and its evolving impact on culture, identity, and ethics. Students gain foundational knowledge in media theory, develop media literacy skills, and analyze how industry forces and technologies shape content and audiences. Through close analysis of media texts, guided reflections, and critical discussions, students engage with media as active participants, preparing them to navigate and contribute thoughtfully to an increasingly media-driven world.
