Mass media in the time of transition
MEDIA IN THE TIME OF TRANSITION Jacek Żakowski Aims The main aim of this series of workshops is to give a broad view of the transition of Polish media since 1989, as well as to give students a chance to meet those who are considered to be the main actors of the transition – journalists, editors, entrepreneurs and media-managers. That is why with the exception of the first and the last class, students will meet in specific media enterprises. After these meetings selected students will be asked to prepare reaction papers. Assessment for the course will as usual be on the basis of a final essay etc. Learning outcomes Students will gain insight into the context in which Polish media enterprises now work. They will gain an understanding of how some media enterprises of the former people’s republic have been transformed to operate in a new context and how private media concerns have been established as competitors in the new media market. It is hoped that the course will give students without previous experience in journalism or other media professions insight into the realia which provide the point of departure for the more theoretical considerations addressed by other courses in the track.
