Begin discussing types of news coverage provided by American TV, newspapers, and magazines. We will look beyond headlines and sensational stories and focus on ignored countries and underreported topics, and investigate who, if anyone, is covering them. During the first session, each participant will select a topic, region or country of interest to him or her and in the followings weeks present an informal oral report, which will serve as the basis for class discussion. Assistance in locating information and preparing reports will be provided by facilitator, Judy Kessinger . You'll get to share your favorites while you pick up ideas on what to read next.
Presentations are informal and discussion is stimulating.
