Summer online course: Hot type, cool media and Twitter trends

Did you know …

The origins of social media can be traced to 1690 (at least)?

The media strategies of Birthers and moveon.org aren’t so different from those used by Federalists and Republicans in the late 18th century?

That the first medium fueling the “print is dead” mantra wasn’t the Internet, or television, or radio?

Join us in June as we use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and more traditional methods to explore these questions and many more in COM230, Media History, Media Today, online.

Visit OnTrack starting Monday to add the course. In the meantime, you can find us on Facebook.
