How do cultural trends, politics, economics and technology shape media consumption and production? Media and Communication understands that media works like interconnecting webs. When you post a “like” it can ripple into trends, change feeds, shift ad spending and spark policy debates. Because everything in media is connected this way, we study four interconnected areas: media industries, content, audiences and policy. Students can choose specialist courses (like Sports Media, Data and Society, Food Media or Environmental Media). Media and Communication recognizes that you can’t understand media by looking at just one subject. Climate denial spreads faster than climate science, social media algorithms can change election results, and cultural trends explode and evaporate in hours. The biggest problems happen where media, technology and power meet.
