Media 2500 Syllabus The class will look at the changing area of development communication/media. This area has focused on Third World issues and how modernization has essentially failed to deliver change in developing nations or regions. The lack of telephone service, illiteracy, few indigenous media successes, and lack of connectivity to the internet all come into play. After more than five decades of development, the southern hemisphere, or peripheral nations, still lack access to modern telecommunications and mass media. This course will address the history, major approaches, theories, the role of NGOs, the CNN Effect, and the paradigm shift currently underway. Media 3356 Syllabus The purpose of this course is to examine the transformation of global communication and explain its underlying causes, major players, and possible future consequences.
