Global Communication looks at how power operates in and through communication systems and how the strategic use of communication by both governments and social movements works. It explores how we can better understand what 'public opinion' is and how it can be shaped and measured, and how 'public spheres' have evolved in the digital age to facilitate, and sometimes inhibit, public and private deliberation. The course examines the role of disinformation in our ever-more mediated world where rapid expansions of ‘platform power’ and Artificial Intelligence are reshaping Strategic Communications practices and skill sets.
