    Description
    Accepted For Credit: CSU & UC Offered: Fall & Spring Semesters, Every Year We swim in an ocean of media. Our thoughts, beliefs, life choices, jobs, government, and shopping decisions are all influenced by the media. Most of us complain about it, but we wouldn't turn the media off, even if we could. Yet we don't know much about it. Who decides what messages get sent? What do the senders want? How do we process the messages? How does the technology work? Your media exposure will continue for the rest of your life. This course aims to make you a more informed, critical consumer. (GR) C-ID JOUR 100
