, 1. INTRODUCTION
This assessment will discuss various themes in media studies. The first theme dives
into media policy and regulation. In this section, the nature of media and
communication policy will be discussed as a crucial role in the growth of
communication, ownership, and purpose. This is followed by a discussion of media
management and the communication markets whereby we distinguish between the
intermedia and intramedia competition including online. Lastly, defining
representation and understanding what it is and through semiotics, polysemy,
construction of identity, gender, environment and terrorism.
2. MEDIA POLICY AND REGULATION
2.1 The nature of media and communications policy
2.1.1 Emerging communications industry policy.
Fourie (2017:13) explains that the importance of communication during this phase
was the telecommunications policy whereby its focus was telegraphy, telephony, and
later radio and in countries like South Africa, postal services were thought to be
service industries that ought to be state owned. Van Cuilenburg and McQuil (2003)
specifies that in the 1980s/1990s correspondence was for the foremost part wanted
for the explanations of state interest and monetary participate benefits and after the
Second warfare, media strategy became overwhelmed by socio-political than
financial or public key worries although by the 1980s, Van Cuilenburg and McQuil
(2003) state that technological, economic, and social trends fundamentally changed
the context of media policy.
The landscape of social media and the impact it has done since its inception, it has
paved way for many opportunities and open doors to various experiences and
learning by connecting people in a less usual way like in an office or a classroom
setting.
