MediaCrit turns a critical eye on the mass media (primarily the news media). An archive of encyclopedia-style entries, reported articles, and longform essays, MediaCrit approaches its subject using angles of attack associated with press criticism, media theory, cultural studies, investigative reporting, and radical history, to name just a few of the intellectual paradigms employed here. The site's goal is to provide historical context for, and critical analysis of, the corporate influences, social roles, ideological agendas, and cultural effects of the media. MediaCrit thinks deeply about the ways in which the media shape our mental lives, social worlds, economic landscape, and cultural environment.
MediaCrit is researched and written by undergraduate and graduate students in the Department of Journalism at New York University, under the guidance of Professor Mark Dery, who launched the site in fall 2007.
Comments, constructive criticisms, and suggestions for entries are also welcome.
