Media vs the real world

What will I learn?

Every job involves communication - how does the media actually work in marketing, business, education, entertainment, and news? How do different people use the media? Do you have a shared understanding of the world with others? How do misinformation and disinformation work, and how do we know what's real? How does the Media show us the world, and what does a journalist actually do?

• Examining how journalism works and how audiences find news  

• Examining how media are used to influence and inform in the world

• Looking at misinformation and disinformation and how to immunize yourself against it 

• Journalism project: Making an online, web-based product.

A Windows or Apple Mac computer capable of running the Adobe CC suite is highly recommended.
