media content

Media content is a subject where media content is central. This summary covers the dominant outlooks of communication: persuasion, information and culture. Pierce's semiotic triangle and the constuctionist approach are treated. It also discusses an important article by James Carey explaining the difference between “ritual view” and “transmission view” of communication.

This is an extensive summary of the Media Content lectures (and some literature) for the study Communication Science (communicatiewetenschap) at the Radboud University, in the year 2019/2020.
