DESCRIPTION
International media study invites many approaches, from the theoretical to the analytical to the practical. We shall practice all three -- theorizing, analyzing and practicing international journalism in this intensive course. Because we need to limit such a broad subject, we shall mostly focus on news media history, current national news media systems and new media, press freedom issues, and war and human rights coverage in Europe and its neighbors ? which immediately raises an interesting problem. What is Europe? The continent we learned about in school, or the would-be bigger new Europe that includes Ukraine and Turkey, maybe Russia, and even perhaps the Caucasus republics, not to mention millions of immigrants from outside Europe? We shall transcend geographical definitions of Europe (which have been historically fluid, anyway) and consider news media throughout this more broadly defined contemporary region.
