Medijų studijos (ENG)
Dalyko anotacija lietuvių kalba
Žiniasklaida supa mus ir formuoja beveik viską, ką žinome ir suprantame apie savo pasaulį. Nuo politikos iki pramogų ir švietimo – žiniasklaida tiesiogine prasme yra mūsų langas į dalykus, kurie gali turėti įtakos mūsų psichinei ir fizinei gerovei. Kadangi ji turi tokį didelį poveikį, prasminga tik pabandyti suprasti jos istoriją kartu su dabartinėmis tendencijomis ir ateities iteracijomis. Todėl „Medių studijos“ nagrinės dabartinę žiniasklaidos būklę, stebėdama jos raidą nuo spausdinimo mašinos iki šiuolaikinio 5G Wifi ir ekstrapoliuojant į ateitį. Ypatingą dėmesį skirsime žiniasklaidos raštingumui, suteikdami studentams įrankius, leidžiančius kritiškai išnagrinėti pranešimus, kuriais jie kasdien bombarduojami, tiek turinio, tiek teikėjo požiūriu.
Dalyko anotacija užsienio kalba
Media surrounds us and shapes almost everything we know and understand about our world. From politics to entertainment to education, the media is literally our window to the things which can affect both our mental and physical well-being. Since it has such an outsized effect, it only makes sense to try and understand its history along with current trends and future iterations. Therefore, Media Studies will examine the current state of media by tracing its evolution from the printing press up through modern 5G Wifi and extrapolating into the future. We will pay specific attention to media literacy, equipping students with the tools to critically examine the messages they are being bombarded with daily, from both a content and a provider standpoint.
