COM 228 Women and the Media

This course investigates the relationship of women and media through film, television, magazines, news, politics, advertising, and the internet. Media, collectively, are full of narratives and intents seeking audiences and attention. However, media literacy as it pertains to women is very much about who or what is driving those stories and the cultural impact they leave upon us. The ultimate goal is to determine if there are women in media today who are self-actualized enough to transcend stereotyping and exploitation and what our cultural response is to such women.
