The term "media studies" refers to the academic field that investigates the development, content, and effects of various forms of media, with a focus on mass communication channels. Media studies can also draw inspiration from the social sciences and the humanities. Still, it is the basic fields of mass communication, communication, communication sciences, and communication studies that give the majority of the field's ideas. Cultural studies, rhetoric (including digital rhetoric), philosophy, literary theory, psychology, politics, political economy, economics, sociology, anthropology, social theory, art history and criticism, film theory, and information theory are just a few of the many disciplines that researchers may draw upon as they construct and apply theories and methods.
