對於現代公民而言，政治因素是影響公共事務最重要的自變項之ㄧ，而媒體則是最重要的中間變項。政治所強調的是如何配置有限的資源，媒體則強調如何讓受眾全盤接收所傳達的訊息與價值。媒體與政治互動範圍甚廣，如政治的定義、政治體制、意識型態、民主政治、投票行為、國家與民族、政治文化、政黨與選舉、利益團體、軍隊與警察，以及公共政策等議題，均與現代公民的生活息息相關。簡言之，政治與感知(perception)密不可分。本課程主要目的在於介紹政治與媒體的關連性，每次上課皆有一重點課題以及相關的概念。此外，本課程在內容設計上是以思辯為主，並由公民概念、文化分析和個案研究三大領域中來選取重要子題來進行。For modern citizens, political factors are one of the most important changes in public affairs, while media is the most important middle-level changes. What politics emphasizes is how to allocate limited resources, and the media emphasizes how to allow the audience to receive the transmitted messages and values in full. The media and politics have a wide range of interactions, such as political definitions, political system, ideology, democratic politics, voting behavior, country and nation, political culture, political parties and choices, interest groups, military and police, and public policy, all closely related to the lives of modern citizens. In short, politics and perception are inseparable. The main purpose of this course is to introduce the connection between politics and media. Each time you attend the course, there are a key topic and related concepts. In addition, this course is mainly based on conception and is conducted in the three major areas of citizen concept, cultural analysis and case research.
