COMM103 Media Literacy
This course provides a broad framework for the development of a critical appreciation of the media that is essential both for the development of an informed citizenry and for those whose goal it is to express themselves through the communication arts media. Participants will consider the importance of media literacy to democracy through a broad range of issues that may include ownership and control, regulation and policy, production and circulation, construction and interpretation of signs, power, gender and media, children and advertising, censorship, racism and stereotyping. The emphasis is on developing the capacity to carefully evaluate media forms and content, develop a language of media critique, and appreciate the role that media play in partially constructing our sense of social reality.
