After a tumultuous start to the second Trump administration, it’s timely to ask hard questions about the news media. Who’s reading or watching the news anymore? Where do people get their news? Why are people so uninformed? Who owns the news media? Have media owners become shills for politicians? Is news still a public service? Is anyone fact-checking for truth? Are there generation or gender gaps among news consumers? Does the news make money? This is a recorded “on-demand” version of a class originally taught in a previous semester. View this class on your own schedule. Viewing link is emailed to participants prior to the semester start.
