COMM 2026 New Media Contexts (WSTC)

COMM 2026  New Media Contexts (WSTC)  (10 Credit Points)  
Subject Details  Legacy Code: 700084  

The convergences and diversifications in the communications media industries of the past two decades have completely altered the environment within which they operate for producers and consumers alike. Issues about digitalisation, convergence, globalisation, the network society and communications media governance require a complete reconceptualisation of the media in order to be able to understand the impact of these changes upon professional practices and consumer habits. This subject will introduce students to international perspectives on issues in the new media contexts, and an appreciation of some of the social and cultural implications.
