Why study Media Studies?
The Media surrounds us all. Whether we are watching the current trending Netflix drama, reading a news feed on Twitter, buying a newspaper or even listening to the radio, we could not (even if we didn’t want to admit to it) live without the Media. By studying Media, we can understand it better, get to know not only the ‘HOW’ but also the ‘WHY’: why do newspapers favour one political party over another? Why do we know what a film is going to be like just by looking at the poster? In Media Studies we examine all forms of media, from Instagram influencers to newspapers, from major Hollywood blockbusters to international television programmes.
