Introduction
Communication Sciences
Network society, big data, digital culture, information society, creative and cultural industries, media and public sphere: professionals in the new knowledge economy are required to have a historical and theoretical understanding of its structure and development, as well as a critical approach to cultural and creative processes and practices, to its management problems and to its political and social consequences. The course fosters this knowledge through training in critical thinking and research, combining it with communication practices and techniques (journalism, social media, advertising, information technology, and web content management).
