This course will provide students with a broad understanding of the business economics underlying the rapidly changing media business and also a more focused understanding of how to apply marketing principles and concepts to media as a product to be sold and marketed to consumers and to other businesses.

They will be able to develop an integrated marketing plan using a wide variety of media that will take a comprehensive approach to a marketing challenge.
