COMM221
- Media Policy and Democracy
In this course, students will look at the development of media regulation in the United States, starting with the founding of the Federal Communications Commission up to its most recent decisions on media policy. In addition to discussing the ways in which the legislation specifically addresses free-market competition, public interest and freedom of speech, we explore society's understandings of these issues and how they are shaped by policy. Students will also focus on the methods of the public-access television and radio movement in their attempt to produce media that serves public interest and gain some control of the corporately dominated airwaves.
