Médias et mondialisation (media and globalization) is a track of the master's program Information, Communication at Université Paris-Panthéon-Assas in Paris, France. The program runs for two years, is taught in French, has an inferred September start, and carries a yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Information and communication studies, as a discipline, examine how media, journalism, and communication systems function within society, covering topics such as media production, audience reception, communication theory, and the political and economic dimensions of information flows. A track focused on media and globalization applies this framework to the international dimension of media, studying how information circulates across borders, how global media companies and platforms operate, and how globalization affects journalism, public opinion, and cultural exchange in different regions of the world. Students in this kind of program typically study communication theory, international media systems, journalism practices, and the impact of digital technology on global information flows, alongside case studies of media coverage of international events. Coursework may also address media policy, cultural diversity in global media, and the ethical questions raised by cross-border information circulation. This training develops skills in media analysis, research methodology, and critical assessment of communication systems operating at an international scale. Graduates pursue careers in journalism, international media organizations, communication departments of multinational companies, public diplomacy, and research institutes studying media and globalization, and some continue toward doctoral research in communication or media studies. Because the program is taught in French, applicants need French proficiency for coursework and professional communication, alongside an interest in international affairs. Paris hosts numerous international media organizations and institutions relevant to this field of study.
