This course builds your understanding of the changing global contexts of media and communication practices. Theoretically and practically grounded, it'll give you a critically informed understanding of key issues affecting the global communications industry, focusing on the challenges posed by the emergence of digital media, globalisation and increasing levels of cross-cultural exchange.
