Digital Society & New Media Major
Digital Society & New Media - Major on the Bachelor in Management Program
About the major
Today, the presence of the media in everyday life assumes a scale incomparable to any previous period. A clear example of this change is "fake news" and, in response, the growing need to create clear rules for the functioning and credibility of the media. Therefore, this major will allow students to acquire, on one hand, the ability to analyze both media messages, research the impact of content, channels of their flow, and media institutions on the social, economic, political, and cultural life in the short and long term. On the other hand, they will acquire the ability to study the impact of this environment, particularly online, on the media themselves.
Please be advised that the major will launch only if a minimum amount of 17 students sign up for the major.
A word from the major's leader
The presence of media in everyday life today is at the same time ubiquitous and unprecedented. Social media, streaming services, AI-enhanced news and recommendations, disinformation and fake news - all these new and emerging features of the media landscape calls for the shaping of new rules how media operate, how they maintain trust, and, finally, how they are managed.
This is why I invite you to join our new specialization, Digital Society & New Media - the first such program in Poland - which is specifically tailored to offer both theoretical and practical approaches, in partnership with major international organizations including Ringier Axel Springer.
You will get a chance to learn how to analyze media content and media strategies for organizations, as well as to research the complex ties between contemporary media and the changing economic, social, political, and cultural reality.
If you are interested in how media organizations work and are thinking about a career in media research and strategy, this is a specialization for you.
See you at Kozminski University!
