Medienwissenschaft

Medienwissenschaft, or media studies, is an interdisciplinary field that examines how different forms of media—such as television, film, social media, and digital platforms—affect society, culture, and communication. It explores the creation, distribution, and reception of media content, as well as the technological, psychological, and political factors involved. The goal is to understand the role media plays in shaping perceptions, identities, and social interactions, often analyzing media texts, practices, and industries to critically evaluate their impact and implications in contemporary life.
