New York University
Ph.D. , Media Ecology , 1986 — 1996
Media ecology looks into the matter of how media of communication affect human perception, understanding, feeling, and value...
The word ecology implies the study of environments: their structure, content, and impact on people...
It structures what we can see and say and, therefore, do.
It assigns roles to us and insists on our playing them.
It specifies what we are permitted to do and what we are not...In the case of media environments (e.g., books, radio, film, television, etc.), the specifications are more often implicit and informal, half concealed by our assumption that what we are dealing with is not an environment but merely a machine.
Media ecology tries to make these specifications explicit.
It tries to find out what roles media force us to play, how media structure what we are seeing, why media make us feel and act as we do.
Media ecology is the study of media as environments.
