The course will also include an excursion to a media institution or a creative media workshop (depending on availability).

Assessment methods and criteria

Student performance, Final project
Successful completion of the course requires attendance at seminars (a maximum of 2 absences will be tolerated), successful completion of interim assignments (e.g., reading excerpts from the literature), and completion of a final colloquium, which will take the form of an oral presentation of a selected and previously consulted topic in one of the last two classes of the semester. Suitable topics will be a presentation of the media system in the student's home country or a particular phenomenon associated with the country and its media realities (students will also prepare summary handouts with basic facts for their presentations, which will be provided to all course participants). Students will also prove their attention in class by successfully passing a multiple choice test.
