London Semester Course Description
Media in Britain
This course will explore British media organizations as social, economic and cultural entities and will examine specific determinants and processes of production. Areas of study will include broadcasting and the film industry, the press and the ‘convergent’ new media of digital television and the Internet.
As popular perceptions of the media often revolve around the excitement, glamour, creativity and controversy, this course attempts to separate myths from reality and give students a pragmatic approach of what the British media are about and what working for them entails.
