LOCATION
Bahçeşehir University is located in the heart of Beşiktaş, Istanbul’s commerce, culture and art
center. Campus is also only a few minutes ride from other important city centers like Taksim where
Istanbul’s social life gets place or Maslak where most Headquarters of International Firms are located.
This gives students chance to make contact with Turkey’s largest firms which are located in Istanbul
for internships and employment possibilities. Beşiktaş is also one of the biggest stops in the public
transportation network of Istanbul at both land and sea transport.
HISTORY
Bahçeşehir University was founded in 1998 as a trust-endowed university. Since then it has
constantly expanded its intellectual boundaries and maintained its commitment to provide a high
quality university education by focusing on the fundamental academic disciplines. In these ten years
Bahçeşehir University established six faculties, two institutes and one vocational school. Other than
this core education schools; University has also created other special educational programs to support
and complete core education.
After the University’s first graduation ceremony at 2003, Bahçeşehir University moved to a
campus in a very unique location and enhanced it with high-tech infrastructure. This campus fits to the
overall academic philosophy of the University which is to provide students with a challenging as well
as a friendly environment in which they can pursue active learning, develop social and cultural
enhancement, become increasingly independent learners, acquire knowledge and skills such as
problem solving and decision making and develop strong ethical and moral standards.
But we realize that in order to provide such academic education we must share the knowledge
and experience of other universities and academic institutions around the world. With this perspective,
Bahçeşehir University notices the importance of international relations with institutions in other
countries and has been signing agreements with lots of institutions in the past 10 years. These
agreements include a large variety of topics from student/teacher exchange to mutual event
organizations. With this approach we are educating students that are highly aware of the world around
them for 10 years.
In 2008 -10th year of University- when we look back to the past 10 years, we are proud to see
that Bahçeşehir University has become an important center for art, science, culture and politics. In
short it has become a center for “Life” itself in Istanbul. This success was possible only with dedicated
academic and administrative staff, well managed resources, certain set of standards, challenging yet
achievable goals and most importantly students that shares our excitement for what Bahçeşehir
University is now and what it will be in the future.

RESEARCH CENTERS
American Studies Center: Bahçeşehir University’s American Studies Center was founded in
order to evaluate the historical dimensions of Turkish-American relations, to explicate the phases of
this relation, and to make future projections taking into consideration the evidence obtained.
Turkish-American relations, which had formally started in 1830, attained a new dimension in
1946, with the onslaught of the Cold War followed by the Truman Doctrine in 1947. They sought a
new identity with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War in the 1990s. Finally,
turbulent days were ahead for the relationship between the U.S. and Turkey during the American Iraqi
Operation starting in 2003. The future projections of Turkish-American relations need to be defined in
order to be able to consider them at length.
Bahçeşehir University’s American Studies Center aims to emphasize the significance of
Turkish-American relations in the upcoming years by evaluating their historical dimension.
The center created an opportunity for researchers and academics whose studies are in the field
of Turkish-American relations to share their knowledge through such programs as The School of
Politics in the U.S. and The Global Leadership Forum.
The center pioneers the formation of political, social and economic bonds between the two
countries.
With its organizations, the American Studies Center envisages the reinforcement of TurkishAmerican relations and an analysis of these relations on civil and academic levels, contrary to the
situation before 1990.
Thanks to speakers coming from the U.S, and Turkish academics and opinion leaders sent to
the U.S. to make speeches in various Think-Tanks and institutions, better acquaintance and
understanding between the two countries are achieved. Nonetheless, further analysis of the relations
between the two countries is essential in terms of historical dimension.

founded with the goal of establishing a tradition rooted in scientific research, and of becoming a

scientific methodology, it conducts applied research on economic and social issues; it evaluates the
efficiency and the success of the current policies as well as producing policy recommendations. In this
aspect, the research conducted in BETAM aims to increase the social and economic welfare. Hence,
the output is shared with academia, research centers, independent researchers and the public, in
Turkey as well as abroad.
BETAM consists of three main units. In the Economic Research Unit, it focuses on the
research and development of economic policy in Turkey and abroad from a comparative perspective.

Turkey and its international relations. The third unit, Database, provides support in the collection,
organization and registration of the necessary data.

PARADIGMA (Center for Counseling Research and Services): PARADIGMA opened in
the 2007-2008 academic year with the aim of doing research in counseling and providing a range of
psychological services to adults, children, families, and institutions in the greater community. These
services include individual counseling, psycho educational seminars, and psychometric assessment of
cognitive functions in children. PARADIGMA is staffed with psychologists specializing in a variety
of fields within the discipline of psychology and its services are offered for a fee. The center is located
near the main campus in Beşiktaş.
PEPTA (Landscape Planning and Design Atelier): The purpose of Landscape Planning and
Design Atelier is planning, designing, and managing usage of open spaces and areas by systematically
applying environmental analyses and plan and design concepts by combining Landscape Architecture,
Art, Science, Engineering and Technology. PEPTA, the first landscape design atelier formed within
the body of the university has received praise for the features it offers. Working together with
landscape architects, architects, urban planners, civil engineers and other professions, PEPTA plays an
important role in environmental design and conservation by preparing, planning and executing
projects designed specifically to meet human needs and ensure environmental regard. The different
professions working together in the atelier approach their tasks in a collaborative fashion, emphasizing
the productiveness of cooperation and teamwork. Among other tasks, PEPTA focuses on creating
more green areas in our country and others with “Green Belt,” a project dedicated to breaking the
monotony of an urban, technological lifestyle by developing recreational areas for the most important
element of our future, our youth. As part of urban landscape planning, green areas are designed at
every stage and scale of development to accommodate functional transformations in the case of an
earthquake. Green areas which have an important role in the organic connection between human
health, living spaces and ecological, physical and economical functions before an earthquake, take on
the role of a place for settlement after an earthquake and include different functions besides their
everyday use. Planning of earthquake parks which can be used as heliports, open hospitals, temporary
housing areas, and evacuation areas are among the duties of PEPTA. In Landscape Planning and
Design Atelier, AutoCAD and Landcadd are used for landscape design, and projects in related fields
are carried out with geographical information systems.

Recently, ‘leadership’ has become an independent research subject, a branch that should be
treated separately rather than being analyzed under numerous disciplines. In a period in which the
significance of leadership constantly augments, Bahçeşehir University School of Government and
Leadership took considering this matter at length and researching it as its primary mission. It’s a
center that believes that leadership is an initiative that can be taken by everyone, in every step of life
and at any level; and in this context, it accelerated its studies.
School of Government and Leadership believes that leadership does not only consist of ‘pure
talent’-which is a belief determined prescriptively. On the contrary, it believes that each person could
influence a society’s political, social and economic life by acquiring profound knowledge on system,
strategy and know-how. It sets a primary mission to assist to the practical and theoretical development
of leader candidates who would like to serve their country, society and environment via different

provides facilities for leader candidates who would like to get forward with their work in the domain
of diplomacy. It also provides facilities for leader candidates who would like to move along within
non-governmental organizations and associations via the Think-Tank seminars, diverse certificate
programs and research panels it organizes. By the help of its academic publication works and ‘article
group’ activities, it furnishes opportunities for those leader candidates who would like to improve in
academic field, to have a voice and to publish their academic work. It has opened leadership studies to
each segment of the society thanks to its public structure in which everyone can join; it showed that
leadership is a phenomenon in which the whole public body should take place and action, rather than a
specific class of people.

recommendation of the Department and Faculty/School.
Students' normal course load for each semester may be reduced by up to 6
credits at most with the approval of the Chairperson of the Department, if any of
the following apply: their Cumulative Grade Point Average is less than 2.00; if
their course program necessitates it; or if there exists other genuine and valid
reasons for doing so. In any of these cases, the course(s) being dropped should be
taken in the first semester they are again offered. Students with a cumulative
grade point average of at least 2.00 who have fallen behind in their program and
who want to catch up or retake courses to improve their cumulative grade point
average, may increase their course load by 3 credits with the approval of their
advisor. Course loads of students whose Cumulative Grade Point Average is at
least 2.50 can be increased by 6 credits at most with the approval of their

A grade of (I) is given to a student who provides valid documentation stating an
illness or any other reason which has prevented her/him from completing the
necessary course work. In these cases, the student must complete the missing
work and obtain a grade within 15 days from the day of submitting the grades.
Otherwise the (I) grade will automatically become an (F). In the case of
prolonged illness and similar situations, this period can be extended until the
beginning of registration for the next semester by the recommendation of the
Department and approval of the related Administrative Committee.
The grade (S) is given to students who are successful in non-credit courses.
The grade (PR) is given to students who are successfully taking non-credit
courses.
The grade (U) is given to students who are not successful in non-credit courses.
The grade (NA) is given to students who have failed to regularly attend courses or who have not
fulfilled the requirements of the course. NA is processed as an F in computing grades.
The grade (EX) is given to students who have previously attended a higher education
institution and entered the university with the University Entrance Examination, and to those who
have transferred to the university from another higher education institution, on the condition that their
courses from the other institution meet equivalence standards set by the related Administrative
Committee after the proposal of the Department Chairperson. The grade EX can also be given to
students who meet the conditions determined by the Senate. The grade EX is not included in the grade
point average but is shown on the transcript.
The grade (NI) is given if courses within the program or programs in which a
student is registered are taken on the “condition that they are not included in the
Cumulative Grade Point Average”. This grade is indicated on the student's
transcript together with the letter grade received from the course concerned.
Such courses are included in the course load defined in article 5th of Academic
Rules and Regulations and can not be used in the course counting process
related to the program or programs the student is registered for. The courses
from which (NI) grade is received can not be repeated. The status of courses taken in NI
status cannot be changed within the same program.
The grade (W) is given if a student withdraws from a course after the add/drop
period within the first 10 weeks of the semester, on the recommendation of her/
his advisor and permission of the instructor concerned. The following rules apply
to these students:
a) A student is not allowed to withdraw from courses appearing in the first two
semesters of their curriculum – excluding courses in which they have previously
obtained a passing grade and that they are repeating to improve their grade
point average.
b) A student is not allowed to withdraw from courses she/he has to repeat, from
which she/he received the grade W before, and/or from courses which are not
included in the Grade Point Average.
c) A student is allowed to withdraw from a maximum of six courses during
her/his undergraduate program (one course at the most in one semester),
subject to the recommendation of their advisor and approval of their instructor.
Exchange students who study in the university within the framework of
agreements signed between the university and other educational or
governmental institutions in other countries can withdraw from the courses with
the proposal of the Director of Exchange Programs and the permission of their
instructor. The rules related to the grade (W) are not applied to these students.
The course grades are announced by the Registrar's Office.
ERRORS IN GRADING
Article 11.
Any objection to the grades announced by the Registrar’s Office is to be made
within seven days following the announcement. In the event of any error on the
Instructor's part in the grades announced by the Registrar's Office, the course
instructor's application for correction will depend on the decision of the related
Administrative Committee. Errors in grading, concerning the semester’s final
examinations, have to be corrected within the registration period of the following
semester.
GRADE POINT AVERAGES
Article 12.
The student's standing is calculated in the form of a Grade Point Average
(G.P.A.) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (C.G.P.A.) and is announced at the
end of each semester by the Registrar's Office. The total credit points for a
course are calculated by multiplying the coefficient of the final grade by the
credit hours. In order to obtain the G.P.A. for any given semester, the total credit
points are divided by the total credit hours. The averages are given in two
decimal points. The C.G.P.A. is calculated by taking into account all the courses
that are recognized as valid, taken by a student since her/his entrance to the
University, by the Department in which she/he is registered. Any given grade
from A to F is taken as the basis for both the G.P.A. and the C.G.P.A. The most
recent grade obtained for a repeated course is used to calculate the C.G.P.A. All
the grades are shown on the student’s transcript.
SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS
Article 13.
Students whose C.G.P.A. and G.P.A. are at least 2.00 are considered successful.
A student who, with at least a normal semester course load, obtains a G.P.A. of
3.00-3.49 at the end of a semester is considered as an honor student and who,
with at least a normal semester course load, obtains a G.P.A. of 3.50-4.00 at the
end of a semester is considered as a high honor student. The list of these
students is announced at the end of each semester.
UNSATISFACTORY ACADEMIC RECORD
Article 14.
The standing of the undergraduate students whose cumulative grade point
average (C.G.P.A.) or grade point average (G.P.A.) is below 2.00 is considered
unsatisfactory. Of these students, those enrolled in their second term or higher
can continue their studies only if their C.G.P.A. is above 1.80. If these students
have a C.G.P.A. lower than 1.80, they repeat the courses they have previously
taken until they raise their C.G.P.A. to 1.80. In this period, these students can
enroll in only one new course. Repeating students cannot register for courses
from which they have previously withdrawn and for courses not taken in the
regular term. For all other courses Article 15 applies. For these students, the
course load reductions as indicated in Article 5 may not be applied. The
conditions under which students repeat courses are included in the maximum
education period.
REPEATING COURSES
Article 15.
A student who has obtained the grades of F, NA, W or U or who has not taken a
course during the normal semester must repeat it the next semester the course
is offered. If the course is an elective or the course has been completely removed
from the curriculum, students can be permitted to take an equivalent course to
be determined by the Department concerned.
Students can repeat a course in which they have previously obtained a passing
grade within 3 semesters following the semester when they first obtained the
passing grade. If a course is repeated, the last grade is valid.
UNSUCCESSFUL STUDENTS IN THEIR FINAL SEMESTERS
Article 16.
A student is considered as a last semester student if she/he successfully
completes the courses in the semester for which she/he is registered and fulfills
all the requirements for getting a Bachelor's degree.
Students who have received a grade of F from at most two credit courses and/or
a grade of U from at most one non-credit course in their last semester will be
given an additional period until the beginning of the next coming semester in
order to make up the failed classes or to take an examination. The grade
received within this period replaces the final examination grade. Students'
standing at the end of the semester is calculated using the grades received at
the end of the additional period.
Even if students have not received a grade of F in their last semester, if their
C.G.P.A. is less than 2.00, they can be given an additional period for the courses
in which the grades of D, D+, C- or C were received in the last semester under
the conditions prescribed above.
Students whose status meets the conditions of this Article should apply to the
Registrar’s Office in which they are registered with a formal letter within one
week after the final examination results are announced. After examining the
student's status, the Registrar’s Office will inform both the instructors concerned
and the student for which courses the additional periods are given. Additional
periods and extra examination rights mentioned in this Article can be given to
the student only once.
CONDITIONS FOR AWARDING BACHELOR'S DIPLOMA
Article 17.
Students must have a C.G.P.A. of not less than 2.00 and have completed all the
credit courses in the program with a grade of D or higher –except for EX grades-,
and the non-credit courses with a grade of S in order to graduate. Students
whose C.G.P.A. is between 3.00 and 3.49 are listed as honor graduates and
students whose C.G.P.A. is between 3.50 and 4.00 are listed as high honor
graduates. Honor and High Honor standings are specified on the degree
certificate.
In order to get the Bachelor's degree certificate from the University, transfer
students must have spent their last two semesters at the University.
PERIOD OF STUDY
Article 18.
The normal duration of a four-year undergraduate program at the University is
eight semesters, and that of a vocational school program is four semesters.
Those who fulfill the conditions outlined in Article 17 can graduate in a shorter
period of time.
Without there being a valid excuse stated in the regulations, students have to

The grade (I) is given to a student who provides evidence through valid
documentation of illness or other extenuating circumstance which has prevented
her/him from completing the necessary course work. In such cases, the student
must complete the missing work and obtain a grade within 15 days from the day

term project courses.
The grade (U) is given to students who are not successful in thesis, term project
and other non-credit courses.
The grade (NA) is given to students who have failed to regularly attend courses or who have not
fulfilled the requirements of the course. NA is processed as an F in computing grades.
The grade (EX) is given to students who have transferred to the university from another
higher education institution on the condition that their courses from the other institution meet
equivalence standards set by the related Administrative Committee after the proposal of the
Department Chairperson. The grade EX is not included in the grade point average but is shown on the
transcript.
The grade (NI) is given if courses within the program or programs in which a
student is registered are taken on the “condition that they are not included in the
Cumulative Grade Point Average”. This grade is indicated on the student's
transcript together with the letter grade received from the course concerned.
Such courses cannot be used in the course counting process related to the
program or programs the student is registered for. The courses for which (NI)
grade is received can not be repeated. The NI status cannot be changed within the same
program.

recommendation of the advisor and with the approval of the instructor.
The semester course grades become final when they are submitted to the Registrar's Office, where the
grades are announced.
GRADE POINT AVERAGE
Article 12
A student's academic standing is determined by calculating the grade point
average at the end of each semester. The total credit point for a course is
obtained by multiplying the course's credit hours by the final grade's coefficient.
The grade point average (G.P.A.) of any semester is obtained by dividing the
semester's total credit points by the number of credit hours taken by the student
in that semester. The G.P.A. obtained is given in two decimal points. The
cumulative grade point average (C.G.P.A.) is based on all courses taken from
time of admission until the completion of the graduate program including all the
courses taken to meet the minimal course load stipulated by the Department.
The most recent grade obtained for a repeated course is used in the calculation
of the cumulative grade point average (C.G.P.A.). All grades, however, are
shown on the student's transcript.
COURSE SUBSTITUTION
Article 13
Course substitution and related conditions of decreasing the length of the regular
graduate program by considering the courses taken within the Deficiency

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
CMR 6001 Theories of Cinema, Media
and Culture I
(3-0)3

In the course, the students will cover certain
scientific texts from the spheres of cinema,
media ve culture and produce various texts in
areas where they want to specialize. At the end
of the course, they will prepare an application
based on a theoretical approach of their own
choice.
CMR 6004 Critique and the Analysis
Methods and Practices (3-0)3
Today, we are bombarded with messages and
texts through the media and visual products in
daily life. However, to what degree can we
understand or interpret and analyze these
messages and texts which we face for short or
long durations? This course aims to make
meaning out of and analyze these texts while
explaining their cultural qualities, contexts and
intentions and to produce analysis and
criticism texts.
CMR 6005 History of Media and Culture
in Turkey
(3-0)3
This course is about the history of visual and
cultural texts in the late Ottoman period and
the Republican Turkey. Cultural perception
and production in the late Ottoman period
expresses Westernization and modernization
proposals on one hand and is covered with the
Ottoman identity on the other hand. In the
Republican Turkey, the establishment of the
nation-state and the Atatürk reforms caused a
reconstruction in the cultural identity. The
transformation of the national identity, visual
texts and media products will also be included
in the topics covered in the course.

processes in film theory starting from Metz
and will cover psychoanalytical and feminist
approaches which are in interaction with each
other. Recent tendencies heavily felt especially
within feminist approaches in the recent years
will be the focal point of the course.
CMR 6008 Film Studies in Turkey (3-0)3
This course will trace cinema studies in Turkey
through the research, study and theoretical
texts of academicians working on cinema in
Turkish universities from the 1970s onto
today. It will cover not only the changes and
transformations in cinema studies in the
universities, but also the interactions between
works of researchers, critics and historians
working on cinema outside of the academic
world with academic works.
CMR 6009 Interactive Fiction and
Networked Media
(3-0)3
Networked
media
is
about
cooperative/collaborative practice in which many
can contribute to the production of "media".
Features distinguishing Network Media from
classical media, such as broadcast media and
the printed press offers a critical research
opportunity. How is networked media
democratic and decentralized? The role of the
communities as participants and consumers.
CMR 6010 History of Art and Media
(3-0)3
Different stages of art from the early ages to
today will be covered in this course. As the
social, political or religious functions of premodern art will be covered, what kind of a
change did the modern art create and the
tendency towards avanguard and abstract
currents and the representations of these in the
media and their interaction with the media will
be discussed. With regards to recent art, the
changes brought by postmodernism will be
covered through the social, political and
economic changes in the art world.
CMR 6011 Media Techniques
(3-0)3
This area looks at issues related to
interactivity, performance and multimedia;
computer interface design; the history of
technology (from the book and printing press
through the telegraph, telephone, and sound
recording, to film, radio, television, video
games and the world wide web); the shaping of
news and information through technology; and
debates about technological determinism,
space-time bias, and mediation. The general
research goal is to explore the limits of what is
possible in technologically sophisticated art
and media, both from an artistic and an
engineering viewpoint, combining art, science,
engineering, and theory. The possibilities
afforded by these new technologies create a
vast reservoir of potential for art creation. It
opens up the possibility for temporal,
performative works to be integrated into
computer networking systems and allow for
more interconnectedness between a time based
work of art and the timeless world of
cyberspace.
CMR 6012 Comparative Research:
Time and Space
(3-0)3
In the turning points of the 20th century; the
production and reproduction processes of
space, ideology and culture; the daily life
practices, experience and the public sphere and
their relations of production and the cognitive
mappings emerging with in these processes
will be analyzed through the readings of
representation of time and space. It will be
stressed out those social, economic, political
and ideological processes; the interaction
between culture and the relations of production
of the daily life and that of space should be
comprehended as different experiences,
influences and movements, taking place in
different parts of a dialectically common
climate in all geographies of the world. We
will study the turning points, specific periods,
production of space and time of modernism,
production of culture, "contemporary" and
"modern" city and life experiences in the
context of cognitive mapping, production of
public sphere and experience, forms of
representation of time and space and their mass
production.
CMR 6013 History of Photographic
Images
(3-0)3
Since its inception, photography has proven to
be a consistently thorny object of study. From
questions about the ontology of the medium
and its legitimacy as an art form to the nature
of photographic truth itself and the "death of
photography" in the digital age, scholars have
often been at odds defining the medium and its
social, political, and cultural meanings. Indeed,
the history of photography often seems to be as
much a history of ideas about photography as it
is a chronological study of a visual medium or
an art form. This course will explore key
debates surrounding photography and its
applications through an assortment of critical
and theoretical perspectives. Readings for this
course will include works by Barthes, Sontag,
Berger, Sekula, Barrett, Crimp, Batchen,
Virilio and Szarkowski.
CMR 6014 Cinema and Technology (3-0)3
In comparison to other art forms, cinema is one
of the cultural production venues most
dependent on advanced technology. In this
course, the results of the reflections of
technological developments throughout the
history of cinema such as sound films and
digital production on film production and
spectatorship processes will be covered on
hand and how cinema itself carries the relation
between technology and society to the screens
through works on technological developments.
CMR 6015 Visual Culture
(3-0)3
This course will provide students with the
skills to make a sustained analysis of the
meaning and impact of visual images in the
context of contemporary cultural and historical
theory. The course ranges over most kinds of
image-making – photographs, film, painting –
and
genres
such
as
advertisements,
documentary photographs and amateur
snapshots. These images are discussed
theoretically in terms of their 'politics of
representation', but we also assess claims about
their broader impact in a culture in which,
according to some, visual signs have become
increasingly important.
CMR 6016 Directed Study in Advanced
Media Studies
(3-0)3
Self-directed study of a topic not covered in
curriculum under the supervision of a regular
faculty member.
CMR 6017 Scientific Journalism
(3-0)3
As public interest in science increased
throughout the 1970s and 1980s, some
newspapers created sections especially for
science news. The news media have fostered a
growing interest in scientific news. The
communication of scientific knowledge to the
general public via mass media requires a new
relationship between the world of science and
the news media. And in a media, a scientific
journalist researches, writes and edits scientific
news articles and features for business, trade
and professional publications, specialist
scientific and technical journals, and the
general media. They often need to be able to
explain complex scientific information,
theories, practices in clear, concise, jargon-free
language that can be understood by people
who are not experts in these fields, whilst
maintaining accuracy. The aim of this course is
to examine the needs of scientific journalism
under these mentioned titles.

Design Promotion Policies, Early Examples,
elements of design policy, links of design
policies to general policies of economy and

policies, and design policies in different
countries: Latin America, South East Asia,
India etc, design policy in Turkey, discussion
of problems and opportunities.
CMR 6019 Television Journalism (3-0)3
In most countries people spend more time
infront of their TV sets. Whatever the audience
share is majority of the population watch news
bulletins and programs on televison. There is
an ongoing debate as the presantation of news
on television. Some broadcasters will maintain
that news item should be fully researched and
produced to traditonal standarts and technical
quality. Oppenent will claim that the main
purpose is to capture the breaking news event
by whatever means possible. As an
international medium, the news and the
presenting of news in television broadcasting
has an important role in the economic, social
and cultural life of the public. The aim of this
course is, how should be the selection,
preparing and present of the news, in a world

also analyse; TV news ethics, the difference
between private and official televisions news
broadcasting, the agenda setting effetcs and the
monopolization of TV stations and famous
faces of the news.
CMR 6020 Internet Journalism
(3-0)3
The Internet and World Wide Web, have been
a significant part of journalism since 1994.
Several billion Web pages are available to the
public. Most major organizations involved in
journalism are dedicating amounts of money
and staff to their Internet services. The new
medium alter the relationship between
journalism, news source and news consumer.
Unlike the other medium, Web news consumer
is not limited to viewing only what is in the
contents of that product. The media can
provide links to other sources also. The
consumer can personalize and select their news
coverage. The Internet provides new outlets for
journalists to market and present their own
work. Furthermore, if everything is going to be
made available for free, then why should the
public spend money on buying the same
material? The main aim of this course is to
analyze Internet Journalism under these titles.
