Special Talk on the US Election and the Media

Thursday, 31 May 2012

ir30may12_thumb.jpgAs part of the "Issue Roundup" series, AGS hosted a special talk and discussion on the US election and the American media coverage on May 30th. This session was animated by Professor Mark Grabowski, who teaches media law and journalism at Adelphi University in New York, and previously worked as a journalist and lawyer.

Some of the topics covered in the talk include the "horse race" style of coverage that is popular among political journalists (i.e. how the media tends to focus on who's winning rather than examining the actual issues and politicians' policies), the perceived liberal bias of the U.S. media, along with studies which suggest that Americans actually prefer partisan news over objective/neutral reporting, how informed average U.S. voters are, and the role of social media and citizen journalism in election coverage.

quote leftMoving to Paris has taken a top rank amongst the most challenging things I have experienced in life so far. AGS – the classes, my colleagues, and the school staff – provided for me a sanity that I had lost! This program is phenomenal and is giving me opportunities to do some really cool things, such as being invited to intern for a summer at a school/community outreach program in Tanzania.quote right
