St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

The goal of this course is to develop the tools necessary to be critical readers and viewers of the news, examining the production and reception of mainstream U.S. coverage of global news events, paying special attention to coverage of political violence. We also compare U.S. coverage with English-language news coverage produced elsewhere, exploring deeper issues concerning discourse, ideology and the representation of "other" cultures;the relationship between media power, corporate power and state power; and the role of institutions in defining the bounds of "legitimate" knowledge.
