多文化共生・統合人間学演習Ⅳ

This course is intended to supplement other studies and provide useful background for students thinking of a career in journalism or public relations, or even propaganda, or who are just interested in how the media functions in Japan.
This course teaches media literacy and journalism. Over the semester, we will look at the practice of journalism and compare reporting styles in Japan and abroad. Students will deepen their critical and comparative thinking, and be asked to consider the history and importance of journalism in democratic societies.
The course looks closely at the work of well-known journalists, past and present. Our focus on individual journalists will be sharpened by a talk given by a guest speaker drawn from the Tokyo press corps.
