COM 3050 - Media and Activism


3 cr

This course examines how various media forms can, and have been, used to bring about social and political change. Because computer related media technologies, community, and alternative media are generally more accessible and multi-faceted than mainstream corporate outlets, in recent times they have been deployed more easily to influence or directly enact social or public policy change. Students study all these efforts. An important aspect of the course will be examining the current political system and media’s integral role in both maintaining and challenging the status quo.

Offered: Fall, even years

This course fulfills the Social Science general education requirement.
