Section Description

This class provides an overview of the media landscape as it relates to civic engagement and political life. Students will gain insight into some of the important issues regarding contemporary mass media, including those related to the intersection of media ownership, consumption, ideology, representation, and ethics. Rather than a comprehensive overview of all media (which would be impossible), this class is designed to raise important questions about the media with the goal of helping students develop their own well-informed perspectives.
