News Media and Political Power
Description:
This course uses primary and secondary sources to track the news media's influence on the politician's ability to gather and exercise power, from Weimar Germany to the present day. Students observe how agenda setting switches back and forth between officials and journalists, analyze circumstances under which independent watchdog journalism can work, and hone their own writing and reporting capabilities.
