Course Description:
This course examines the social and political impact of global media networks and transnational information flows. It includes an overview history of mass media, with attention being given to technologies, business models and the growth of global information flows. Students also consider the role of mass media in shaping public perceptions and the rise of complex debates surrounding media oversight, regulation and control. The latter half of the course looks at a range of contemporary developments: the promise and consequences of digitalization; the advent of global consumer culture; public diplomacy and transnational advocacy; conflict management and recent concerns over truth decay and the erosion of public culture. The role of global media in the formation of transnational civil society and discursive politics between states will also be examined.
