Annotation
The World of Television is a new course for 4EU + students as a cross-sectional view of the still dominant medium, which in recent years has absorbed the principles of cinema. It will focus on three levels: a) the medium as an institution (production organization, economic aspects, what is the television market, how rights, tv formats and so-called packages are traded) b) the medium as a creative space for creating media content (including genres, their changes in relation to current trends), c) the world that television mediates (to what extent it can compete with other types of communication, especially social networks).
