Merge with Media Theory  revisit 
Just to give an international perspective: German media theory is certainly not media studies - it is an area of its own, with overlaps to what is called media studies elsewhere. The German term is Medienwissenschaften (media sciences) and is as much involved in philosophy and science as it is in popular culture. We'll need to make a proper reworking of this page, and possible separate out media theory on its own right.
