Introduction to Media Studies

Media Educators have developed a set of Key Concepts through which new students can be introduced to the subject. These are often remembered through the acronym MIGRAINE:

M - /Media Language/ I - /Institutions/ G - /Genre/ R - /Representation/ A - /Audience/ I - /Ideologies and Values/ N - /Narrative/ E - Economical, political, social, historical!

These should be seen as a starting point for the study of the Media and not an exhaustive model of Media Studies.
