COM 352 Theoretical Foundations of Communicating in Emerging Media Environments

This course will provide students with grounding in major theories of communication in terms of multiple discourses, textuality and iconography in traditional media, digital and networked environments, and new and emerging media, and the social, political, and economic environments in which they reside. Special emphasis will be given to understanding communication theory as it relates to individual communicators and the discourse communities with which they identify.
