Description

Examines the values, strategies and ways of knowing that comprise the culture of journalism, viewing news not as a natural display of information, but a constructed product. Starting with discussions of the history and values of journalism, we look at the ways those values are tested and changed by economics, politics, and in times of national emergency and war.
