Hello,

My name is Abby and I am a student at the University of Ottawa. This fall, I am taking a course about the Theories of the Media which requires me to make a contribution to Wikipedia. This course teaches the main theories regarding media in American and European schools of thought. Theses schools, such as the Chicago School and the Frankfurt school, have different theories in which discuss different power relations within media. Topics such as; how media affects the individual or a group, how one can interrupt certain messages and where are these messages coming from, are just a few topics covered in this course. In summary, the course looks at the relationships between power, society, media and elites thus teaching the students how that all affects our mass culture.
