What science gets covered in print, on TV and online? How and why is that material selected? How can we investigate the effects of media coverage on public knowledge of or attitudes towards science? This module offers an introduction to media studies for those interested in relations between science and the media and the general discipline of science communication. The module surveys relevant empirical and theoretical work in media studies and public engagement with science. It also encourages the application of theory to real-world case studies.
