Communication as a Social Force examines the relation of communication institutions to the broad
structures of power in society. In this part of the curriculum, we examine institutional arrangements and
structural characteristics regarding:

  • Communication and political systems: state, law, regulation, social movements and political parties, democracy
  • Communication and economic systems: markets, ownership, access; “demographics” and class/gender/racial and national stratification
  • The production of content within media industries

Faculty research includes the following topics, among others:

  • The study of news as public information and political ideology
  • Telecommunications and the information economy
  • Intellectual property and the flow of culture between global North and South
  • The relationships among law, communication technologies, ownership, democracy and the
    public sphere.
  • Comparative analysis of media systems
