FMST 070. Media Industries and the Future of the Internet

This course is focused on understanding the nature of "media convergence." It is a theory, a practice, and a strategy that experts, practitioners, scholars, and consumers engage with everyday to make sense of the impulses and forces that guide our social media use, what we buy, what we eat, what we watch, and how we think about the internet. The course aims to guide students through trends and issues in a wide variety of media industries such as advertising, music, audio, movies and television, gaming, and the "internet industry" at large, as well as scholarly and industry research that aims to critically uncover and predict the future of these industries.
