Purpose and Content

The aim of the course	This course aims to understand the characteristics of new media that have emerged due to developing technologies and to use new media efficiently. It focuses on basic software and hardware concepts, mass communication and personal communication technologies, computer networks, the Internet, efficient use of office software, and newly emerging broadcasting technologies.
Course Content	The aim is to help students adapt to new media and advertising platforms created by developing technology. Within this framework, the main goal is to prepare young communication professionals for new media environments in terms of software, technology, and administration. Today, even television—which is still the most popular medium—has become watchable through different platforms, showing that in the future all media will be accessible in various ways and that broadcasting practices will change and develop through these technologies. At this point, educating communication students with knowledge of new technologies enables them to keep up with the transformation of media.
