| People who live in
poverty, such as homeless people, have low
levels of access to computers and Internet or a
lack of familiarity with these technologies.

not able to use social media tools to find
information, jobs, housing, and other
necessities. |
Media Studies
Media studies is an academic area of study about mass
media and its history and effects. It mostly focuses on
newspapers, radio, television, and internet. Media
studies take some ideas from other areas of study, such
as humanities and the social sciences. |

Most production and journalism courses use media studies
content, but academic institutions such as universities
often start separate departments. Media studies students
may see themselves as observers of media, not creators
or practitioners. These distinctions are different
depending on the country where students live. |

The development of media studies was sparked by the
growth of new media in the post-Second World War period.
A typical source was Marshall McLuhan's Understanding
Media: The Extensions of Man. This book set out to
connect changes in media with changes in society. His
most famous phrase was "The medium is the
message".fr:Sociologie des médias |
