What the college says

As the Media play an increasingly large role in our lives and we spend more and more time on our phones and tablets, posting on social networks, playing digital games, streaming on platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime, it becomes more and more important to understand how these media target audiences and how we are influenced by them.
