The course is designed mostly as a seminar with strong active participation of students (the “media news” every meeting and “project” at the end of the course). The course requires only some basic knowledge of sociology, social theory and communication science on introductory level, some basic knowledge of world (American and European) history and popular culture. The aim of the course is to offer an interpretation of mass and network media and their - real as well as desired or feared - role in society, with focus on media in Europe and the Czech Republic. the course is strengthening the quality of media literacy among students
