JOUR 498/898 International Media: Germany (Berlin & Munich)

 

germany

Pre-session: one week at UNL and two weeks in Germany As the world becomes smaller with technological advances and global market expansion, journalists, advertisers and communicators must become familiar with factors influencing their field. As the third largest economy in the world, Germany is one of the most important trading partners and political allies of the United States. This course explores issues modern Germany is facing in a globalized world from a professional media perspective. We will meet with journalists, advertising agencies, and a variety of media outlets in the creative heart of Germany, Berlin, as well as Munich, the home of many of Germany's major film studios.

 

JOUR 498/898: International Media: Mexico

Pre-session: one week at UNL, two weeks in Cozumel, Mexico Is the use of mass media really any different outside of the U.S.? You'll find out as we explore news and advertising in Cozumel. This island in Mexico's Yucatan peninsula is considered by many to be a tropical paradise. Because it's one of the world's top cruise ship destinations, Cozumel is a laboratory of cross-cultural communication. The small town feel and somewhat isolated environment make this an ideal place to examine the role of mass media in a developing country. This trip is limited to a small group. Don't delay your registration if you would like this experience.

 

JOUR 498/898: International Media: Digital Photography in France
france

First 5-Week Session: three weeks in Provence. The opportunity of experiencing the world through photography has been the fascination of many travelers, students, journalists and ethnographers since the development of portable cameras. We live in a complex world dominated by the production and consumption of images; thus the importance of modern-day photography. Photographs allow us to observe, understand, anticipate and capture images and experiences in a unique way and more accurately than our own imagination and memory. In a global context and world economy, the production and consumption of images allow us to penetrate in the most tangible and yet subtle ways into different cultures and markets. Experiencing a foreign culture in itself is a most rewarding experience, but experiencing a culture from an academic perspective based on active observation and the production of images reinforces the core of visual literacy and global perspective.
