Course Description

This course will examine the role and impact of media in contemporary society. Through the lens of sociology, we will analyze the ways in which media shapes our perceptions, values, beliefs, and behaviors. We will explore the historical, cultural, economic, and political contexts of media production, circulation, consumption, and regulation. We will also critically examine the implications of media for social justice, diversity, representation, and democracy. By the end of the course, students will have a deep understanding of the complex relationships between media and society.
