Einführung
Understand Complex Human Communication Processes
Communication and media are central features of our lives. From navigating relationships to crafting professions to engaging in local and global issues, we are always using communication and media. Recent years have seen the proliferation of media forms, technologies, and industries. Indeed, there has never been a better time to study communication and media. No matter what kind of work you do or what kind of life you live, understanding communication and media processes is fundamental to your health and wealth.
The Communication and Media Studies Program at Franklin focuses on four key threads in communication and media studies:
- Media forms, practices, technologies, and industries
- Empirical and critical media and communication research (with an emphasis on emerging and social media)
- Media uses and effects (individual, relational, cultural, and social)
- The relationship between media and global processes
