The Social Media and Digital Communication MA will give you the opportunity to develop an in-depth understanding of contemporary digital communication and its seismic impact on politics, culture and society.
Social media has challenged how we understand communication, democracy, news, relationships, privacy, advertising and entertainment. Social media companies have captured the attention and imagination of hundreds of millions of people. They enable their users to develop and display their creativity, to empathize with others, and to find connection, communication and communion. But social media companies have also captured those users’ personal information, and turned their daily lives into commercial data through business models built around surveillance.
