It has often been argued that increased access to information will lead to greater personal and political freedoms, This lecture considers the impact of restrictions to access to information whether through censorship, lack of skills or availability of technology or through the limitations of media ownership and industry.
Many studies attribute digital divides to one, or a combination of, four factors:
1. Inadequate infrastructure
2. Socio-economic disadvantage
3. Demographics
4. Culture
Main Topics:
How people suffer from lack of access to the internet?
What are the implications of digital divides?
What strategies can be used to bridge digital divides?

COURSE BOOKLET AND BIBLIOGRAPHY
Course Aims & Objectives
• To introduce the political, economic and cultural elements of international communications and their interconnections
• To develop an understanding of the complexity of international communications and its implications on local, national and global levels
• To appreciate how media technologies and systems of international communications affect news coverage, entertainment and official systems of information
• To examine controversial issues within the field, especially the role of communications in national development, the relative power of governments and media organizations, the problems of regulation and the impact of communication technologies
• To provide an interdisciplinary approach that learns from a range of social sciences, primarily Media and Communications studies, Sociology, International Relations and Cultural Studies
• To engage students in debates about key issues surrounding international communications, and encourage their independent thinking, as appropriate for postgraduate level.
Intellectually, students will need to constantly address the following questions: What is international communications all about? What changes and what remains the same in patterns of communication, politics and social action? What is the role of media and communication technologies for political and social change? Who influences the flow of international information, why, how and with what consequences? How does the mediation of entertainment relate to the mediation of politics and the other way around?
