WS 324 - WOMEN IN MEDIA


Credits: Three
This course surveys the changing ways women and the women’s movement have been depicted by the media over the years. Special focus is placed on the media’s treatment of women as consumers, employees, and advertising targets. The course also examines the vital roles that women have played in the development and popularization of newspapers, magazines, film, radio, and television. Lectures, discussions, readings, research, videotapes, movies, and guest appearances by women currently working in media are part of the course content.
Note: The accelerated Weekend and Evening College format of this course will be augmented by a faculty-prescribed one-credit independent learning experience.
