Media Communication in the 21st Century
The Backbone of Democracy or a Tool of Social Oppression
Aksana Ulanovich, Andrii Kostyriev
This course is designed as an interdisciplinary dialogue between scholarship and practice. Students will engage critically with theory and current events, exploring themes such as the essence of political communication, media power, the watchdog–chain dog dilemma, post-truth networks, and the aesthetics and rhetoric of political media. Through discussion, debate, and collaborative research, we will uncover the techniques, tactics, and means by which media shape – and are shaped by – democratic and authoritarian contexts.
