Overview of class
This course examines how journalists produce and circulate meaning within and across societies. We analyze the role of journalist positionality, newsroom DEI initiatives, and institutionalized norms and values, in the coverage of social difference. We explore the influence of news audiences -both imagined and real -in journalistic knowledge production. Our goal is to critically interrogate the ideological underpinnings of present-day journalism practice.
