Comparative Media Studies: CMS News (Podcast) The MIT Press book we affectionately call 10 PRINT—actually 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10—was an unusual project in several respects. The book focuses on a single line of now-unfamiliar code, code of the sort that millions typed in and modified in the 1970s and 1980s. The book contributes to several threads of contemporary digital media scholarship, including critical code studies, software studies, and platform studies.

Also somewhat oddly, the book was written in a single voice by ten people: Nick Montfort, Patsy Baudoin, John Bell, Ian Bogost, Jeremy Douglass, Mark C. Marino, Michael Mateas, Casey Reas, Mark Sample, and Noah Vawter. At this CMS colloquium, co-authors will discuss the nature of their collaboration, which was organized by Montfort, designed as a book by Reas, and facilitated by structured conversations and writing done online (using a mailing list and a wiki) as well as (in a few cases) in person.

Stanford on iTunes U. OpenLearn - The Open University. Media & Values. CML's most recent work is contained in the CML MediaLit Kit, but all of CML's work has its roots in Media&Values magazine. As Media&Values evolved over its 15-year history during the 70's, 80's and 90's, it documented many issues still important and relevant today, and grew from a potpourri of interesting tidbits to a publication with extensive editorial crafting as an educational resource.

Media&Values is a direct reflection of the early days of media literacy in the United States, and it provided a foundation for a national movement. By issue #20, each edition had become thematic with inside articles expanding on the cover theme. Soon an editorial Starting Point provided context and by issue #33, a group of Reflection/Action columnists were introduced to offer perspective on the theme from different points of view (women, minorities, children, religion, etc.).

Comparative Media Studies is the examination of media technologies and their cultural, social, aesthetic, political, ethical, legal, and economic implications. At MIT, students are trained to think critically about properties of all media and about the shared properties of different media, as well as the shared properties and functions of media more generally, both within one period of time and across generations. MIT Comparative Media Studies offers both undergraduate degree opportunities, as well as a two-year course of study leading to an SM degree.

MIT Comparative Media Studies research and educational projects explore a wide variety of traditional media and their uses in education, entertainment, communication, politics, and commerce. Faculty are widely recognized for their leadership in developing both archival and instructional interactive projects, creating new models for thinking about, producing, and using digital media.
