Media Studies

Media Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the creation, content, distribution, and effects of various forms of media, including print, broadcast, digital, and social media. It analyzes how media messages shape public perception, culture, and society, as well as the role of media in influencing social change and political dynamics. Researchers in media studies often explore issues such as representation, audience reception, media ethics, and the impact of technology on communication practices. The field draws from various disciplines, including sociology, psychology, communication, cultural studies, and critical theory, to explore the complex relationship between media and society.
