FLMES2451 Freedom and Control in the Media
This unit introduces students to key issues and debates about media regulation, freedom and control. Topics address issues of media ownership, convergence, censorship and classification, globalisation and piracy. Students explore the policy frameworks that respond to these issues, and their implications and effects. The unit examines histories of different regulatory procedures, their present forms, and their particular application in an Australian context.
