HISU 393 History of Mass Communication (3)
This course looks at the history of mass communication and how such media as books, newspapers, magazines, movies, radio and television have affected not only culture, but perhaps even the very structure of human thought. It also examines the historical development of the different types of content that have made their way through the media of mass communication, such as news, entertainment, advertising, public relations and propaganda. The current media environment is the all-but-unnoticed backdrop to our lives, almost like the air we breathe. In this course we will be trying to understand how it came to be and what we have learned from our experience of it. Selected readings will be posted online towards the end of the summer.
