Statement of Purpose...Eastern Mediterranean University, Faculty of Communication and Media Studies! (FINAL COPY)
MA in Communication and Media Studies:
I hold a BA in English Language and Literature. I
recieved an interdisciplinary education and took
elective courses from the Faculty of Communication and
Media Studies. Although my education mainly involved
literary studies I have always had a strong interest
in media studies. As a result, during my education I
had the opportunity of gaining work experience at the
'Cyprus Today' newspaper which is the most popular
English Language newspaper in the TRNC. I worked at
Cyprus Today as a reporter and translator and also
contributed a columnist. Furthermore, I did
translations for the Eastern Mediterranean University
press and public relations. These experiences were
extremely valuable and introduced me to the world of
the media.
I have a keen interest in current events and
would like to further develop my knowledge of the
types of media, functions of the media, the workings
of ethics in the media, its influences on society and
culture, the development of the media and the
discipline, peace journalism, feminism and the media,
problems of representation in the media, censorship
and the Freedom of the speech/press, Propaganda and
the media, alternative media and the various critical
approaches which inform the discipline.
At the end of the course my main aim will be
to find an original and creative approach of my own
based on classes, readings and individual research
which I intend to pursue with persistence and accuracy
to represent my thoughts and opinions. Thus, to be
able to continue on my journey into reseaching into
how society functions as the reflection of certain
mediums such as the media and thereby contribute to
change and improvement of our community, our country
and the world we live in.
My other areas of interest which I feel
enrich my studies include literary studies, creative
writing, cultural studies, cultural anthropology,
philosophy,film studies, art and music.
