The exam consists of a written test featuring two open-ended questions. The following aspects will be evaluated: a) Knowledge of the concepts and topics discussed in class, as well as the required readings. b) The ability to apply analytical tools to media consciously and critically. c) The capability to navigate the history of the media system and establish connections. d) The skill to summarize information and use appropriate language. To pass the exam, a positive evaluation must be achieved in both parts.
The course offers the elements for a basic understanding of communicative processes seen in their relational dimension and in their relationship with the evolution of the Italian media system.
The program is applicable to both attending and non-attending students. However, attending students may be exempt from studying certain pages of the texts listed on Leganto, as communicated by the instructor during class. Erasmus students and those with a PDP or PEI are encouraged to reach out to the instructor at the beginning of the course.
