Media and Power: Balkan Edition

By: Arta Berisha

This free, openly-licensed textbook is an adaptation of the U.S.-published Open Educational Resource (OER) Media and Power and is intended for a Balkan audience. The handbook guides students through concepts, content, and exercises that help them develop media literacy by understanding media and power. The authors want students to not only gain the ability to critically analyze the languages and discourses – textual, visual, audio, and code – that people use to create and interpret media content, but also to understand the overarching context: media possess immense power in contemporary societies around the world.
