What it covers
What are the greatest media challenges of our time? How can media professionals of the future be equipped to tackle these challenges as well as those that lie ahead which we cannot yet imagine? In this era of unprecedented levels of media change and power, media challenges cannot be understood through a single, specialist lens. The unit will complement knowledge from your chosen specialisation by providing a collaborative learning space where you will be exposed to a range of critical approaches that will assist you to develop interdisciplinary, strategic thinking skills. In addition to self-guided study, you will work with others in formal and informal teams to link content knowledge and practical skills in an investigation of a global 'real-world' media challenge of our times.
