About the course
The course examines the development of media in the United States from historical and contemporary perspectives. It takes its point of departure in a broad definition of media, that encompasses for example TV, film, news media, popular culture, and social media. Focus is placed on questions of how American media cultures have changed over time and how they have related to different political, social, and economic contexts.
