WiSe 19/20: News Media in the USA: An analysis of power structures
Branko Woischwill
Comments
In this course, we use a sociological perspective to analyze the complex issue of news media structures in the USA. In detail we will look at framework conditions, concepts, strategies und systemic interactions. For this purpose, initially there will be a study of relevant culture studies, media/communication theories, e.g. Meyrowitz, Postman or McLuhan, journalism theories and theories of trust. It follows an analysis of specific media phenomena, e.g. radio, newspapers or social web. In addition, appropriate practical examples, case studies and analyzes are discussed in the course. Furthermore, interviews with journalism experts are sought. A comprehensive, critical examination – including an outlook on future developments – forms the conclusion of this seminar. close
