COM 369: S/T: Global Media 3 credits In this course we will be mapping out world communication and the cross-cultural outlines of our so-called "gloabal village." We will look at the rise of international communication systems and the development of this thing we call global culture. We will examine some of the modern techniques and technologies of the information revolution- computers, satellites, the news, digital imaging, fiber optics- and a variety of their influences on cultural development and "new world orders." We will access the merits and limitations of technological developments in media and their implications for global communications.
