It provides an aid to the study of interpersonal communication, the theory of communication, media history, and technological development, balancing the specifics of, for example, legislation affecting media performance with the major themes central to most programs of study--audience, cultural interaction through media, globalization and issues surrounding the impact of technology on society, and the nature of ownership and control.
