What is Media?

1. Information presented through film, sound, or written language
2. Triggers for experience
3. Creativity, how the information is told and expressed
4. Shaping/Manipulating, thought provoking
5. Mass Communication

mass communications tradition:

• -assumes a fairly linear one directional flow
• -behavioural or effects model (influence of psychology/ marketing)
• -technology/institutions more important to study than reception and content of message
• -content analysis was main extent of ‘textual’ interest

“Our lives are, to more extensive degree than we care to think, infused with a process of inscription…”

Pre-modern society, the social world was experimented through just face to face interactions or direct experience, as with modern society, it’s mostly indirectly, photo movie etc. It creates an “Imagined communities”
