JREM 366 - Media and Democracy

3 Credit Hours
Media and Democracy is a course in media literacy and media effects. We take a fresh look at traditional, social, and digital media, with an emphasis on audience skills in understanding the messages we create, encounter, and evaluate. The course explores the crosscurrents of influence in several areas, including the role of public opinion and the media in the formation of democratic systems. Students will become better global citizens by being able to identify democratic operation differences between the U.S. and other countries. Class work also will address social class, ethnicity, gender, language, race, and religion as related to voting behavior, campaign strategies, and constituent services.
