Media Criticism

Catalog description

This class explores differing approaches for critiquing media ranging from print, television, film, music, politics, and digital communication. Given that today's public sphere is increasingly variegated, students must develop a greater sense of awareness of the ways that these practices have impacted our public sphere. This means developing media literacy skills. Students will be equipped with the critical vocabulary necessary to articulate the ways that media shape our communication environment and social consciousness.
