JRN 613 - International Journalism

An analysis of the role of media, policies, and technology in the communication between countries and across the world. Students will explore political theories of the press and changes in news flow driven by advancing technologies. Students are expected to select a theoretical approach or paradigm that suits their worldview and apply it to class discussions about the ongoing world news flow. Students will practice oral and on-camera presentations in a professional broadcast studio. Each student will select a country to study for the semester, and will serve as a news analyst for that country in discussions and broadcast experiments, thus facilitating the class to act as an international news desk.
