JRNL 375 - World News Coverage


Class Hours: 3
Lab/Discussion: 0
Credits: 3

Prerequisite: Sophomore standing, instructor permission
Description: Challenges students to compare and contrast the coverage of international news sources from around the world and how they impact people’s awareness, attitudes, and behavior in a multiculturally differentiated world. Emphasis is placed on interpreting comparative coverage of events among the developing world and the Western-dominated international news media sources and understanding the geopolitics of world news. Students critique not only current international news but, more important, how it is reported. The goal is to foster a critical and analytical attitude toward news to gain a broad-based, balanced, global, and multicultural awareness of the human subjects of international news.
