Another title: The Functions and Effects of Mass Communication, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
The study of mass communication is viewed as embedded in a social context. The role of the larger social system in shaping systems of mass communication is considered, and the place of groups in mediating the impact of mass communicators on individuals in society.
