AS3241: Contemporary Media in a Global Society

This course aspires to help students become informed and discerning consumers of news. The course addresses global news in a way that will be more case-driven than theoretical, and explores the dynamics of news, politics, and foreign policy in the context of contemporary events. Focusing largely but not exclusively on ongoing, international crises of global importance, largely including but not limited to the Middle East, we will examine how various international media report on major topics including armed conflicts, human rights abuses, and terrorist or indiscriminate violent attacks.

Please note this course requires special permission to register.
