ASPA 483 Advanced Asian Media

3 semester hours

This is a sequel to ASPA 306, but the introductory course is not a prerequisite. This survey course of media systems in the Asia Pacific emphasizes compare-and-contrast methodology. An additional education tool is the University website, ASIA MEDIA (http://www.lmu.edu/asiamedia), where students discover the origins of the media presentations, develop rigorous analytic tools, and critique that epistemology. This course is sometimes taught in conjunction with an Internet-linked class at the United Arab Emirates University in Al Ain, UAE.
