Course objectives

The course will be led by an international team of lecturers and will give the students a basic overview of the current media landscape, public service media and the way they can be influenced. Examples will be demonstrated with different points of view – from a general to a specific level (case studies from the Czech Republic, Georgia , Hungary, Poland and South Korea), from a theoretical to a practical level, from a personal to a mass level of consuming and creating media. During the course, experiences will be discussed and shared about the following key topics as a way to increase media literacy: Media vs. Politics, Online News and Public Trust; Challenges of Media Ethics; Media Diversity and Digital/New Media; Media Systems vs. Political Systems in Post-Communist countries; Modern Korean Media. The lecturers will provide the students with many opportunities to compare their home countries with the situation abroad. As a final assignment, the students will take a short quiz.
