The media play a role in every aspect of life. Our economy, our politics, our culture, and even our personal identities are formed in media consumption and production. Media analysis is a critical tool in understanding and functioning in contemporary society. “Media literacy” has become a basic educational need. A minor in Media and Communications can be a valuable credential for students majoring in or considering a career in government, politics, business, media, advertising, marketing, public relations or education.
