Description: This course will help you build a foundation for making ethical decisions under the kinds of difficult circumstances that journalists and strategic communication professionals face every day. The instructor won?t be telling you the right decisions. (Not most of the time, anyway.) You get to decide what constitutes the right decision. Most of our discussion will focus on the process we should use to make good, ethical judgments. That requires all of us to explore, discuss and debate the way we make decisions and the consequences. This will happen in constant class discussion that everyone is expected to join. We?ll talk about ethical theory and real-life case studies in journalism, advertising and public relations. Some will be historical examples; others will be more recent cases, and some that surface during the semester That means students should be reading the newspapers and other media ? every day. It also means that attendance and class participation is required in this course. If you?re shy about asking questions and contributing comments, that?s certainly not uncommon. But get over it. It?s time to break out of your shell. We?ll hear regularly from guest speakers from the news and strategic communications fields, and we?ll use the University?s Vista site as a source for much of our reading.

Description: Advertising in Society introduces students to a variety of issues regarding ways in which advertising is linked to society. It examines these issues from several perspectives: social, cultural, economic, legal, and ethical. The course differs from professionally-oriented classes which study advertising from the perspective of a professional attempting to develop effective advertising. As a writing intensive course, Advertising in Society helps students learn how to conduct thorough analyses of issues, develop positions on issues, and present coherent and convincing arguments for positions they have taken. We begin the course with a four week section focusing on one issue involving the relationship between advertising and society. The issue chosen illustrates the complex, multifaceted nature of advertising--society issues. The next six weeks focus on the role of advertising in the economic system and the ways in which advertising is regulated to try to insure fair competition and to protect consumers. The last five weeks focus on social criticisms of advertising and the social responsibilities of advertising practitioners.

Description: Are the news media doing a good job? How can you tell? Does it matter? Is The Daily Show the best news program on television? Why or why not? Most people seem to have an opinion about all of these questions. Most discussions seem to center on one of four themes: 1) who owns the media and what they care about; 2) media credibility and bias; 3) whether entertainment is replacing or enhancing information; and 4) to what extent is the Internet changing everything about the way the media work. Mass Media and U.S. Society will explore the validity and importance of these themes in terms of what roles can the media play in society, what roles does it play, and how have those roles changed over time. The course will draw on ideas from various social sciences to develop tools for discussing a number of specific issues related to these themes. The class format will be a mix of lecture and discussion. Required reading for the course will center on the one text for the course: The Press. There will be a midterm, a final and 3-4 short writing exercises.
