Assert control over media and its impact on your life. While its definition has changed, media continues to impact the ways in which we understand the world and our place in it, which in turn affects how we think, feel and behave. Begin with a refresher in critical thinking skills and move through a comprehensive analysis of the ever changing media environment. Learn how best to evaluate and distinguish factual reporting, editorials, and propaganda, and therein insulate yourself from irrational techniques of persuasion and other misuses of information. Specific topics reviewed will be dictated by student interest.
