Race, Gender and Media

Catalog description

Race and gender are just two of the many components that make up what the U.S. media considers news. Local and national news and Hollywood have had a long history of improperly dealing with race and gender. In this course, we will discuss how race and gender in the news and in Hollywood (among other topics including advertising, music videos and politics) shape the images we have in our minds and how we, the public, can differentiate between what is real and what is propaganda.
