Discrimination is one of the main and deepest problems of today’s media as it is also a main problem for all societies. On the other hand, diversity is one of the most popular concepts in media. Focusing on media’s role on creating and distributing stereotypes and cultural images, this course aims to inform students about major theories on media, diversity and discrimination issues, to develop a critical perspective on media coverage and to be an occasion for students to deeply discuss about current media content. |
