Description: The module offers an introduction around the contemporary mediascape. In particular, it will tackle how new media contribute not only to offer media contents to their public, but also how they construct a media environment inhabited by users. Terms such as mediascape and media environment will thus be problematised and studied in detail, taking into account the active role of the public. To do so, we will look at the main trends characterising the media scenario, borrowing from the debate on media specificity and highlighting what are the innovative/traditional features that make a medium a ‘new medium’.
