　　Media studies courses look at the structure, history, output and effect of various media. There is an overlap with communication studies in that both disciplines look closely at how information is transmitted and opinions are formed.Courses will often look at ownership of media channels and the effects of digital technology on the media with modules on smartphone culture, social media and online advertising.

　　Media studies arose as an academic discipline out of the tradition of critical analysis in English literature courses. It has since grown and established itself as an important academic field in its own right, drawing from a wide range of academic material including texts and ideas from: anthropology, psychology, criticism, sociology, philosophy, cultural studies, film theory, art history, and political science. The media is in a near-constant state of upheaval with legacy media operations shrinking their operations and in some cases closing completely.

　　媒体研究考察各种媒体的结构、历史、产出和影响。媒体研究和通信研究有重合的地方，因为两个学科都是考察信息的传播和观念的形成。媒体研究课程通常考察媒体渠道的所有权和数字技术对媒体的影响，其模块也涵盖智能手机文化、社交媒体和网络广告。

　　媒体研究来源于传统英语文学课程中采用的批评性分析。自那以后，媒体研究成长并成为一个重要的学科领域。在这个过程中，它借鉴了多个学科的文本和思想，包括人类学、心理学、批评、社会学、哲学、文化研究、电影理论、艺术史和政治学。随着传统媒体运作的缩水和衰落(某些媒体已彻底停止运作)，媒体研究得到了持续的发展。
