Module 1: Introduction

The readings in Module 1 of the syllabus for the New Media Narratives course explore the concept of new media and its relationship to storytelling, technology, and culture.

These skills are applied in real-world contexts, emphasizing the ethical responsibility of communicators and citizens in addr...
