This class will explore the relationships among politics, news media and government. It will do so by focusing on particular news events in which the role of the media became an integral part of the story. Some of the sessions may change based on guest speakers’ schedules; topics of discussion and readings may also change based on breaking news events.

If American Political Journalism (APJ) is your first choice of elective, you MUST still enroll in another elective to guarantee yourself a space in an elective class.
