Kommentar

This BA-level course will focus on various forms of news media and their connection to state institutions and politics. The media system of the United States will serve as the primary case study, in order to compare various eras of journalism over time. We will also learn about forms of media regimes in other nation-states and different typologies that might aid us in distinguishing between them. The final part of the class will look at the future of news and public deliberation by focusing on the various connections between digital media and politics. The main goal is to gain an understanding of how mediated information and forms of journalism are connected to material interests, regulatory frameworks, and practices of power. This is a work-intensive course! To obtain participation credit, course participants will be expected to take an active part in class via regular attendance and closely familiarizing themselves with all of the required reading material. This familiarity will be demonstrated by filling out an online questionnaire before each of our sessions. To obtain full credit, students must additionally present one core reading and complete a take-home exam in written-out essay form at the end of the semester. PLEASE NOTE: This class will take place in person. There is a limit of 35 students for this class, some of which are allocated specifically to students from the IfPuK. If you sign up but end up not taking the class, please remember to un-enroll from via the campus management system, so that others might have a chance to take your place. Schließen
