    The role of Mass media in today’s world is immeasurable.
    The mass media also has an essential role in reporting wrong doing, following up on remedial action, mobilising public opinion, instigating social change and highlighting positive developments in the society.

    It’s therefore imperative we study how these media operate for us to become critical bibliophiles, listeners, viewers, critics and effective uses and producers of the media.
    The course will also make use of e-learning, which will aid in the effective execution of the new education system in order to make the process of sharing knowledge easier and faster.
    The purpose of this course is to develop the students’ understanding of print design and for them to articulate concepts and strategies that guide in design decisions and how designs best communicate a message to a target audience.
