Description
Develops practical abilities in designing media-based education campaigns (suitable for health, environmental issues, for example). The media are seen as a resource to be utilised in advocating social or behavioural change and as the conduit for public education programs. Cross-cultural issues are considered as well as questions of 'targeting' groups by age, gender and sub-cultural definition. Introduces techniques of qualitative media/social research in the context of public education.
