Class Radio Theory and Practices

The curricular unit of History of the Media has as its main foundation the study and understanding of matters related to the evolution of the media over time and to the theories of communication. From a historical perspective, the social, technical and economic contexts that are the genesis, development and sustenance of the media are highlighted. The discipline program is formed from the deepening of 5 pillars. The first is an understanding of what the media are and the importance of studying them from a historical perspective, the second, from oral to written tradition, third, audiovisual, and fourth, the advent of new media, is formed through a perspective of contextual division on the history of the media and are intended to understand the dynamics that underlie the maturation of media systems generated by the emergence and social acceptance of the media.
