Expanded Course Description
| How can the Federal Communications Commission fine broadcasters for "indecent" programming when the First Amendment protects freedom of expression? Why do "reality shows" saturate TV network schedules? Does it matter that most media outlets are owned by a handful of large global corporations? Does the digital revolution threaten traditional media forms? What's the significance of the New York Times publishing announcements of gay couples' commitment ceremonies on the weddings page?
J 201 examines how the media emerge within specific social, economic, and historical contexts and how they, in turn, shape modern society by acting as sources of information, entertainment, and persuasion. The course critically examines media ownership, regulation, production, and consumption and the effects of new information technologies. |
