This course is first an introduction to the subject of world news and it examines the theories, general issues, and problems related to the international function of the media. We will study the role of various media and their approach to global news, analyzing the coverage in the social, cultural, and political domains. Students will thus gain a clear understanding of how the major international media organizations operate. Close examination of international media companies, issues of Global Media Governance and the recent NWICO debates will form the basis of classroom discussion and written analyses.
