3 hours

Prerequisites: A grade of a “C-” or better in COMM 2050.
This course examines the cultural, economic, and political role of media in the development of globalization. Since Marshall McLuhan popularized the term “global village,” the development of media has been inextricably linked to the corresponding forces of globalization that continue to impact society. This course will pay particular attention to debates concerning media’s influence on local and international cultures, economies, and politics, and their intersections.
