Why is it important to study media? If we consider the impact of media on a global scale, we can more readily grasp the need to ground our understanding of language, literacy, and communication in the examination of textual practices. That is, we must take a pragmatic approach to the analysis of all forms of text that we produce. For example, by taking this approach, we can understand the climate crisis as a breakdown of communication requiring immediate intervention. Sound methods of textual analysis, developed by the Winnipeg School of Communication’s Media Language Arts program, are designed to tackle the global issues of the 21st century.
The Winnipeg School of Communication is an educational initiative that aims to enhance language, literacy, and communication skills by way of providing effective training in textual analysis to teachers and students of media, technology, and the environment. Learn more about us →
