The global media is an essential part of the modern world we live in, influencing not just social but political as well as economic landscape. The rise of the internet and new technology has played a huge role to the increased consumption and creation of content worldwide. This course explored the media from different angles starting from the historical development. The media in this day and age is mostly dominated by a few media conglomerates which are mostly based in the US. Conglomerates like Dysney, Comcast and ViacomCBS are some of the popular giants in the media world. With the increased production of content comes the concerns of misinformation and propaganda. This is one of the important challenges in the media, hence as media professionals we all need to check the reliability of our source every time we consume content.
