Mass Comm and Mass Media

Catalog description

Section information text: Mass communication and mass media are such a normal part of people’s daily lives that they sometimes don’t give them the attention they deserve. The messages, images, and stories individuals see and hear influence and impact them in ways they may not understand. In this course students explore user-generated content, personal branding, and how the modern mass and social media has brought mass communication to almost everyone. Students also examine how political and social messages relate to fake news, and how they can be a part of social change.
