CAM 3046 Convergent Media/Divergent Voices
This seminar explores trends toward multimedia presentation and the convergence of print, broadcast and online media, and how these have influenced news and creative discourses from the late 1960's to the present. We discuss changes in social, political, and personal discourse caused by the media's rapid evolution, and consider the "New Journalism" movement of the late 1960's, the rise of online investigative media and recent blogging culture. The role of convergence in corporate media's shrinking number of players in the mainstream is a concern, as are alternative media as viable divergent voices in the media landscape.
