MEDIA IN ASIA (CM4030)

Today the political, socio-economic and cultural forces by which the media operate are rapidly globalizing in Asia, and the emerging consequences deserve to be analyzed and explored fully.

This course provides a critical understanding of the place of the media in different Asian locations.
