Art and Craft of Television

MDAR 335

 

Considerable portions of our lives are spent centered on television. It is a companion. It is a contact for surveillance, authority and entertainment in our lives. It has significantly contributed to the progress of communications in our society. And it is viewed as being part reflective, part distortive and part fantasy. This class is designed to analyze the art and craft of television—from how it works to content and programming trends as well as its business operation. This class depends on your participation and you are expected to share opinions and examples of what you find occurring on television.
