In this course we will study the major theories in the field of mass
communication research.  We will begin with several contemporary views on
the philosophy of science and then examine the elements of theories.  We
will then read some examples of communication research, both classic and
recent, that illustrate the variety of empirical and interpretive
approaches in the field.
