Programs: critical sensibility (focused on critical aspects, cultural policy focus, orientation towards social justice (positive social change, interdisciplinary (cross of multiple disciplines, work that moves across different disciplines) Conducted in the service of a public or private admin agency. Saw media as useful tools to be harnessed for corporate/agency/government goals. Solves small problems, but does not look at big picture issues. Assumption that it is based on quantitative (numbers and results that can be recorded) and empirical (work that is related to the observable, experiential world) research. Conducted in the service of society broadly (looks at larger issues that people feel the need for them to be looked at ex. racism) Sees media system in general as something in need of study/scrutiny. Deals with big picture issues (sometimes in relation to specific goals or on their own)
