Videogames and Mass Communication
For a final project in one of my mass communications classes, I was tasked with researching a form of mass communication and assessing it's impact on society. As a self professed nerd, and enjoyer of videogames, the choice was clear as to which medium I should choose. Although the paper is short, only three pages, I read a great deal of professional research from a variety sources.
The short version of the paper, is that videogames have revolutionized storytelling, and anyone who claims strong negative or positive social benefits from videogames is an extreme outlier.
