POLITICAL SCIENCE 320 - Mass Media

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

We live in a world of mediated political realities. Like Plato's prisoners in the cave, we see only shadows, not realities. Yet these shadows have become our reality, through the power of the mass media. This, of course, raises a fundamental question about our ability to be selfgoverning when our understanding of politics is determined not by the events themselves, but by those who create and report them.
