Special Topic: Social Mediums, Messaging, and the Law

Catalog description

This intensive course will study the dynamic social media landscape by examining the very latest trends, messaging synergy across platforms, as well as provide the ever-evolving policy and regulatory framework in which it all exists. For example, who owns that photo you just tweeted — and are the rules the same for Pinterest? By the end of this course, students will not only appreciate up-to-date functionality, technology, and practices, but be able to make persuasive arguments to a legal department for ethical and lawful social media usage.
