Introduction to Media Industries

Course Description

Offers students an introduction to the critical perspectives that are central to the analysis of communication industries, including print, broadcast, new media, film, and sound-based media. Provides students with the skills to explain how and why media institutions emerge, sustain themselves, grow into monopolies, shift content priorities, and interact with both consumers and their own labor force. We will also look at the financial, ethical and regulatory structures that guide these industries. Given the focus of the semester, particular attention will be paid to media companies based in New York City.
