As one of the best-known progressive media critics in the country, Herman has developed a propaganda model to explain why contemporary news so closely reflects American ideology and the views of powerful corporate interests. Herman will discuss how the model can help people understand media coverage of contemporary political, economic and foreign policy issues. The event is being sponsored by the political science graduate program, the Metropolitan Research Policy Institute, the College of Urban Professional Programs and the Political Science Roundtable.
Admission is free to the public.
