MEDIA 21100

News Literacy in a Digital Age

In this writing-intensive course, students will judge the reliability and credibility of news reports through a close textual analysis of online, TV, radio, and social media stories and build on their academic writing and documentation skills. We will also study the First Amendment, the underpinnings of an independent press and the evolution of the press as a watchdog and guardian of democratic ideals.
