POSC 289 - Politics and Mass Media 3 hours
Major technological developments continue to change the news media scene in unforeseen ways. That makes it an exceptionally exciting time to take a close look at a revolution in progress as it relates to politics and political communication. This course presents an overview of what we know about the interplay between political forces (politicians and events), the media (mainstream, online, and alternative), and the public and its impact on various aspects of political life in the United States. We will examine mass media effects on individuals, on groups, and on society and public policies in general.
This course will satisfy the core area requirement in social sciences.
