Fake news, post-truth and digital media: Inquiry in relationship between media and politics

The main goal of this course is to provide a general theoretical understanding on the role of the media and culture in social development. Such an understanding will enrich the general set of methods that can be used to study a contemporary media system and its implication for society. Such methods are generally based on social science methodology and cover political science, social psychology, sociology, cultural studies, political economy and regional studies. A second goal is to provide some basic knowledge of Russia’s media, as the main examples used in this course are based on a deep analysis of the Russian media system and Russian society, public sphere, regional aspects, etc.
