History of Information and Media !
This course will examine the In (mis)information age, it seems that the more we know, the less we
understand. This course examines how data, fact, and information all have their own history, and that their
production and circulation are shaped by politics, emotion, capital, as well as mediated by technology.
This class will trace the long history of media in culture and society, including books and other
communication technologies.
It will also cover the historical developments including writing, printing and book reproduction, and
broadcast media as well as contemporary digital media.
This course will also analyze the key aspects of Media, Communication and Society and its developments.
