The course critically examines media and cultural issues in the Americas, with a focus on contemporary developments in the press, television, and grassroots/citizens’ media, as well as cultural transformations caused by an increasingly globalized media environment. Historical perspectives are applied to examine contemporary developments in media policy and their impact on citizenship and democracy; the role of the media in local, national, and global contexts; cross-border flows of information and programming; perceptions and depictions of the south in the north; independent and investigative journalism in emerging democracies; media and social movements; and ownership and state relations with media institutions. This course may be used to fulfill either the interdisciplinary course or the cross-cultural course requirement at Hofstra.
