The means through which society is reflected, tested, challenged, and changed.
Media are the means through which society is reflected, tested, challenged, and changed. Our Media Studies program encompasses a broad historical reach and encourages collaborative interaction among the disciplines from classics to information science. Exploring diverse modes of communication from hieroglyphs to algorithms, Media Studies allows students to gain skills in interpretation, evaluation and formal media production.
Media Objects Podcast
Media Objects is a new podcast produced by The World According to Sound and Cornell Media Studies. Each episode considers a different media object, from office plants and listservs, to hieroglyphs, HTML, and mixtapes. Featuring the voices of thirteen Cornell Media Studies faculty, each sonic essay comprises a series of scenes, quotes, vignettes, and other fragments, all threaded together through sound.
Cornell Media Studies is unique for its broad historical reach, and for the collaborative interaction among the disciplines from Classics to Information Science.
