The discussion will examine other countries, looking at the forms of news media, and how they shape public opinion. Dr. Doyle will explore topics, such as the attitude toward government-controlled media and entertainment-type media.
He will ask questions such as, "What type of international news coverage is there?" "Is there an 'official' or governmental source of news and what is the public's attitude toward it?" "What are the differences between news coverage in your country and the United States?" "To what extent is international news part of news coverage?" "What is the attitude expressed regarding the United States?"
Light refreshments will be served.
