International Media-Berlin & Munich |
| |
As the world becomes smaller with technological advances and global market expansion, media professionals must become familiar with factors influencing the field. This course helps tomorrow's journalists and advertising professionals understand more about German culture and how to make educated decisions in the world of international media. As the third largest economy in the world, Germany is one of the most important trading partners and political allies of the United States.
Pre-Departure. Before travelling to Germany, you will need to complete a few online modules via Blackboard that will help prepare you for the experience in Germany. You will also engage in online discussions with the other students in the class. This segment will start approximately four weeks before the trip.
On tour. We will travel to Berlin and Munich for two weeks to immerse ourselves in German media culture. You will learn about theories and communication models that will help you understand and avoid cultural stereotypes, while developing an appreciation for cultural differences.
On campus. You will spend the third week back on campus to finish your assignments, one of which will be to create a "Cultural Guidebook" for media professionals interested in Germany. You will also write stories about your cultural experiences in Germany that may be published on NewsNetNebraska. |
