School:Media studies

Wikiversity

Welcome to the School of Media Studies

 * Definition
 * Media Studies examines the effect of media on society.


 * Media studies examines the ethical issues and responsibilities, media's influence, media's role in our society and media's evolution.


 * History
 * The study of Media Studies is still a relatively new area, only developing in the last fifty years or so. Compared to other disciplines, this is a very short time.


 * Please help
 * The school is still very much under construction. We welcome anyone with a knowledge and/or interest in any aspect of Media Studies to take part in the development of the school. Feel free to add your name below if you would like to help, and start developing. Also, please add your ideas, questions, and/or proposals to the talk page.

Media Studies is not Film, Television and Radio Production

 * The scope
 * To give media studies students the background that they need to understand, analyze, criticize and write about the effects, functions, and relations between film, television and other media, and society as a whole, most Media Studies Departments focus on the theoretical, economic and political aspects of media production, and the uses that are made of the media in the daily lives of people.


 * Practical filmmaking
 * Students who are interested in a career producing motion pictures, radio and television news and drama should go to departments specifically designed for this. The production of film and television will be covered in the School of Film and Television. In this department, there is a series of courses on basic filmmaking for independent motion pictures.  (The filmmaking school is about 70% complete.) A Radio division is also under construction as well as the new School of Broadcasting.
