About the course

The media is an essential factor in our everyday life. We watch TV, movies and streaming services, read newspapers and magazines, and listen to the radio and podcasts. And of course, there exist various social media on the net. The purpose of this course is for the student to actively follow various media and analyze and report what is happening.

• You can do the assignments in any order. Remember to include the sources you have used. Unless directed otherwise, each written report should be 2-3 pages long with 1½ spacing, font 12). It is encouraged that the report includes photos, headlines, links etc., but the actual written text must be all yours. Naturally, no copied internet articles as such are allowed.
