This course concentrates on issues discussed on the front page of The New York Times (NYT). Each week a group of students will engage in researching the historical background and general content of the cover story of the NYT as well as the way other major newspapers in the US and Europe discuss that same topic. The idea is to keep up-to-date with current issues, to practice skills of media analysis. You will research issues in a scholarly manner to be able to talk knowledgably about them. At the same time, you will get a clearer idea of the media landscape and its interconnections. Course work requires you to present on the media coverage of one particular issue and its discussion in papers during that week as part of a group. In addition, you will have to create a blog-entry for your topic. Modulleistung consists of a portfolio.
