Media and Development (UTVB2400)

Bachelor's course
For exchange students

Issues of media and communication are essential in processes of development and social change worldwide. However, to date, development studies have largely overlooked the role played by the media in development. It is important to understand media and communication issues in the Global South, and to link the theoretical study of media and development to on-going media processes. In this course, emphasis is put on the Global South. Outlining the historical processes of globalisation and the rise of contemporary network society, the course discusses the notions of media, development and the relation between the two.
