Students explore the workings of the modern day mass media and the theories and debates surrounding it. A large emphasis is placed on the analysis of media texts across the broadcast, print and e-media platforms. Students learn how to read the language of the media and apply the key ideas to specific media texts including films, television programmes, newspapers and online content. They will have the opportunity to use new media technologies to create a media production of their own, such as a TV trailer or music video.
