4 Hour(s)
Today’s media consumers are inundated with information and thus find it increasingly difficult to separate fact from fake news from opinion, and news from promotion. This course helps students analyze media content - verbal as well as - visual - so that they can more responsibly engage in a democratic society. The course examines the evolution of mass communication in the United States, with special focus on the critical consumption of media content. Topics include fake news, bias, and the media’s role in a democracy.
