Institution:

Chatham University

Subject:

Description:

This course uses coverage of current international affairs to prompt students to analyze and discuss how various American media differ in reporting foreign news, as well as to provide a forum for comparing domestic and international news coverage. Topics for comparison will range from geopolitical issues like the Middle East to more mundane topics like global conferences. The "war on terror" coverange and media-military relations during the Afghan and Iraq wars will also be examined. The non-American perspective on world events will be highlighted by studying other countries' media. The final lecture focuses on concrete advice on how students interested in international reporting can start laying the necessary groundwork in their own careers.
