The aim of this course is to enable students to understand the historical development, core concepts, structural and technical features, and socio-economic dynamics of new media from an interdisciplinary and critical perspective.

The course covers the definition and historical development of new media, digitization, convergence, the network society, hypertext, interactivity, multimedia, platformization, algorithms, social media, participatory culture, digital identity, digital labor, surveillance and privacy, digital inequality, disinformation, ethics, copyright, and artificial intelligence. Theoretical frameworks are discussed through current examples from digital platforms.
