Why study this course with us?- Our course investigates a variety of media institutions, industry perspectives and texts. It explores the central role of the media in our everyday lives, and challenges the common sense assumptions that surround it.
- The Radio Production and Media Studies course from the University of ChesterÊ encourages understanding of how and why media institutions operate as they do, the representation or exclusion of some issues by the media, the role of new technologies, and the opportunities and challenges offered. Our course offers a theoretical framework to analyse contemporary media.
