Media and Communications

Creating and communicating in a disrupted media environment

Combining scholarly knowledge, industry experience and technical expertise, we're at the forefront of media and communications research and teaching, ready to respond to the challenges of an ever-changing media landscape.

We bring the critical power of the humanities to bear on all forms of media to investigate rapidly emerging technologies and contemporary content practices. Some of our teaching areas include news and feature journalism, audio and video production, digital cultures, media theory and ethics, social media, public relations and health communications.

Our wide-ranging research and spirit of enquiry leads us to collaborate across the University, and indeed the world, in research partnerships targeting complex issues. We have a particular focus on digital media and digital cultures scholarship.
