Scope
This seminar builds on previously developed research and analytical skills necessary to understand American public policymaking. The key objective of the course is to familiarize cadets with current literature on how mass media (to include newspapers, TV journalism, radio, and the arts) affects the political process from elections and public opinion to the process of governing and policymaking. The course will also devote about one third of the semester to exploring general issues concerning the relationship between the military and the media.
