Have you ever wondered who decides what kind of content you can download to your mobile phone or the style of Google ads that display on your friends’ blog sites? Are you interested in media technologies or exploring the many ways in which we communicate, both organisationally and individually?
This course is centred on the theory and practice of distribution of creative content via television, radio, print, the internet, mobile technologies, movies, advertising, public relations and music. It encompasses media research and media policy so you will understand how the media works, what its impacts are on society, and the issues that shape public debate about the media.
