Primary attention is given to the role of economics, regulatory law and technology.
This is an advanced media communication content course that looks closely at the factors that impact electronic communication as an industry and social force. The emphasis is placed on critical thinking and synthesizing concepts and ideas that unite electronic media. Technological developments have accelerated the process of convergence in media at all levels and economic changes have prompted a concurrent convergence in the way media companies do business. Underlying all of these changes are the policy, regulatory and legal decisions of the government that affect every stage of development. Students are expected to aggressively prepare for class sessions, which are taught in an interactive, seminar format.
