Information Society Media

Our department is a department that starts anew from 2019 by integrating the Department of Journalism and Broadcasting and the Department of Information Sociology belonging to the College of Media and Information at Erica Campus of Hanyang University. The reason why the two departments with a long history of more than 36 years merged into one is to preemptively cultivate the talents needed in a new civilized society where innovative changes are taking place. In the future, the world in which we live will incorporate advanced information and communication technologies such as artificial intelligence, IoT, big data, and mobile into the economy, society, and culture as a whole.Research and discussions on journalism and macro-social phenomena, which have played an important role in our society so far, inevitably need to be revised as technology changes and advances. Media in society characterized by so-called hyperconnectivity and superintelligence will go beyond the role and scope of existing newspapers and broadcasting. Various social phenomena that are familiar to us will also change significantly. Individual relationships, communities, democracy, and the media will all have to be interpreted at different levels, different perspectives, and new methodologies. Now, a society that has changed with the advancement of media and network technology will develop in parallel with the level of production, management, and distribution of digital data. Therefore, our department intends to conduct learning and research on media, communication, information, technology, and social culture through a data science approach.Would you like to be a talented future with courage to explore and challenge new paths that humanity has never been to? “A dream we dream alone is an imagination, but a dream we all dream together becomes a reality.” The Department of Information and Social Media at Erica Campus of Hanyang University is waiting for your challenge.
