Media Studies is a multidisciplinary field of study that examines the systems, content, history, and effects of various media. This field includes the analysis of both traditional mass media^[2] like télévision^[3] and print, as well as new forms of digital and médias sociaux^[1]. The pioneers of this field include John Culkin, Marshall McLuhan, and Harold Innis, who laid the foundational theories and principles. Culkin was instrumental in introducing media studies into educational programs, while McLuhan proposed seminal concepts such as “the medium is the message”. Innis, on the other hand, connected media technologies with the rise and fall of civilizations. Media studies also encompasses various perspectives, theories, and contributions from different countries and scholars. These include the cultural emphasis in the UK, social media focus in the US, and notable German scholars such as Hans-Theis Lehmann. Globally, many universities offer programs in media studies, reflecting its importance and relevance in understanding contemporary society and culture.

Définitions des termes

1. ↑ médias sociaux. Les médias sociaux sont un terme général qui englobe une variété d'outils et de plateformes numériques qui facilitent le partage d'informations et la création de communautés virtuelles. Issus des premiers systèmes comme PLATO et ARPANET, ils ont évolué vers des plateformes modernes comme Facebook et Twitter. Ces plateformes offrent des caractéristiques uniques qui les différencient des médias traditionnels, notamment la possibilité pour les utilisateurs de générer du contenu et de s'engager dans une communication dialogique. Elles accueillent plus de 100 millions d'utilisateurs dans le monde et offrent différentes formes de services, telles que des applications de messagerie et des plateformes de création de contenu collaboratif. L'utilisation des médias sociaux a des répercussions considérables sur les individus, la société et les entreprises, influençant tout, des pratiques de marketing aux processus politiques. Cependant, elle est également associée à des préoccupations éthiques, telles que la diffusion de fausses informations et la dépendance potentielle.

2. ↑ mass media. Mass media refers to various forms of communication that reach a large audience simultaneously. This includes traditional forms like print media (books, newspapers, magazines), recordings, cinema, radio, and television, as well as modern digital platforms like the internet and mobile phones. Each form of mass media uses unique content types and utilizes specific business models, creative artists, and technicians for production and distribution. It's worth noting that there's ongoing debate about whether video games should be considered a form of mass media. Mass media is characterized by its one-to-many communication model, allowing for broad dissemination of information or products. A key distinction of mass media is that it separates the production and reception of information, reaching audiences who are often distant in time and space from the producers.
