I love him

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.
