COMS 842 - Communication and Media Studies


This course examines media and their messages as rhetorical constituents of public culture. The course examines theories of media from speech and writing to electronic communication within the rhetorical context of their formal, material, and social practices. This course strengthens the curriculum in two ways. First, it provides an enhanced, doctoral-only section of COMS 448/548, which extends the study of rhetorical theory into the most contemporary communication experiences and examines the convergence of speech, mass communication, and writing in modern life. Second, it diverges from that course by expanding the focus from electronic media and by intensifying the connection between media and public culture.
