Critical Media Studies

Critical Media Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the role of media in society, focusing on how media shapes cultural, social, and political realities. It explores issues like representation, power dynamics, and audience interpretation, questioning who controls media narratives and how these influence our understanding of the world. By analyzing different forms of media—such as television, film, and social networks—scholars aim to uncover biases, challenge dominant ideologies, and understand the impact of media on public perceptions, identity, and social change. Ultimately, it encourages critical thinking about the information we consume daily.
