The goal of this course is to acquaint students with the New media and its challenges, opportunities, threads and both technological & social possibilities. The course consists not just of the theory, there is also a practical team project, which gives students "hands-on experience".

The main goal of the course is to help change the perception of the media as an unbiased and neutral source of information and help a student to understand the complexity and variability of the modern world - information society. The area of New media is quite broad and interdisciplinary - it covers informatics, laws, politics, economics, art, history and sociology.

We shall focus on the universal aspects and influences (such as digitalization, globalization, e-government, ownership/power concentration, economic/political/social pressures). Its better understanding helps to orientate better in the contemporary information society.
