â€Å"Whoever controls the media, controls the mind â€Å" Jim Morrison Media Studies Course Outline Media Studies Core Concepts Media Studies Assessment Checklist COURSE OUTLINE â€Å"The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.† Malcolm X Mass communication to Everyone. Disseminating Information to a wide Audience. What is Media? The media is the means of mass communication, such as newspapers, magazines, radio, television and film. The media disseminates meaning to a mass audience. The word media is derived from the Latin â€Å"medium†, which means†¦show more content†¦People who study the media pay particular attention to these representations and the reasons why they appear. Audience The term â€Å"audience† means the people to whom the media products are directed. These people are said to consume the products. The target audience is the audience that the media aims the message at but this will differ from the actual audience reached by the media. Institutional Contexts This refers to the ownership of the media (public service, commercial, transnational corporation, independent) and the Controls of the media (legal, self-regulatory, market). Technology The effects of media technology on media texts will be examined. For example: special effects/animation technology which facilitates the telling of certain kinds of story; the effects of the technology of reception available to audiences (e.g. video as opposed to cinema); the effects of the technology of distribution (e.g. electronic distribution of news). Although these aspects are treated distinctly, you should cross-reference and integrate these aspects in any analysis of a media text.
