Media Institutions and Systems

Communication cannot occur in a vacuum; its content, form, flow and impact depends on and varies across the institutions and systems within which it occurs. This area of research explores the history, design, diffusion and regulation of traditional and emerging media, from specific technologies, mediums, organizations, and industries to their formation into broader local, national, international and global media systems.
