"Media are at the heart of contemporary life. From social media to print, from websites to television, from search engines to apps: our understanding of the world is shaped by media."
"Media have a major impact not only on how we communicate with one another, but also on how societies are organised: culturally, politically and economically. This academic programme therefore studies the informative and social function of media and conceives 'culture' in its anthropological definition: as the ideas, customs and social behaviour of particular (groups in) societies."
In the field of media studies, one focuses on the content, history, and effects of media, especially mass media. Mass communication, communication sciences, and communication studies are the core disciplines of Media Studies, combining traditions from both the social sciences and the humanities.
