This core unit in the Master of Media Practice introduces the foundations of comparative analysis to advance understanding of diverse media systems, cultures, patterns of thinking and practices beyond one’s own society. It aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills to become culturally-competent and influential media professionals, with expertise in producing and evaluating communication practices and processes across global South and global North settings. Students will investigate the transformation processes reconfiguring hierarchies of media visibility, attention, and power in digital, legacy and hybrid international media, and their implications for social inclusion/exclusion.
