Annotation
The aim of this course is to demonstrate to doctoral students that study of the development of media issues in the past will allow a better understanding of the current media situation. The focus is on the main tendencies in the development of world media in the socio-historical context. The course is taught in the form of seminars and consultations.
The course is structured around the preparation of seminar papers. In this work, each student will focus on the development of media in their home country in the years 1990 - 2020. The goal is to identify the basic changes that have taken place, to define the main actors and to outline the developmental currents. Students are encouraged to think about what they perceive as positive and negative changes in the identified developments.

The main course assignment is to individually write an academic text, of 20 standard pages length, using literature and a note-taking apparatus. The paper will focus on the development of media in their home country in the years 1990 - 2020.

All papers will be made available to all students, and then discussed in a dedicated seminar, at the end of May. The seminar content will allow for  comparison of all texts. Students are required to attend the seminar, present their seminar papers and discuss the development of media in each country.
