授業の概要Method of Instruction

【授業の概要】
While we will attempt to complete a broad overview of mass communication theory, a central focus will be to develop students’ media literacy skills. In the process we will be looking at such things as television violence and its effects on children, the effect of mass media on public opinion, media influence on public perceptions in general, the role of mass media in framing the news and issues of the day, advertising, and other current topics that arise during the course of the semester or that students have a particular interest in.
The course will be divided into five sections:
I Introduction and overview: Mass Media, Mass Culture, and Media Literacy
II Mass Media Effects and Perception
III News, New Media, and Public Relations
IV Advertising, Propaganda, and Persuasion
V Student Research Projects
A short exam will follow after each section. The final 3 periods of class will be given over to students group presentations on media research.
