The mass media have been an important field of study since the 1930s. Today, with more media around us than ever before, we spend much of our day staring at screens, or plugged into music. It is therefore essential that we understand how the media communicate with us, the different ways in which we might react and how the industries that make these products operate. Technological change is having a dramatic effect on traditional patterns of production and consumption, as the traditional media - radio, newspapers, television, film - migrate to the internet. Media Studies provides you with the critical and analytical tools to understand how the media represent the world around us, and what processes are involved. This includes learning some key theories, particularly in the area of narrative, genre, representation and the audience.
