Welcome to MC 5316 Issues in New Media! In this course, we will examine the Internet and other digital technologies and discuss their relationship with the communication discipline. Issues discussed will include social media and cyberculture research, and the role communication will play in the new media environment, including legal issues, diffusion and other media theories, and the impact of new media technologies on society and culture. This is a graduate seminar, so your input is important. Students will have an active hand in selecting and presenting course topics.
