How do journalists cover the news? Do they report it honestly and truthfully? How valid are claims by critics that news media behaved unethically in their coverage of Donald Trump? This course looks at issues of bias, distortion, lack of perspective and other journalistic failings. It studies journalists' responsibilities to their profession and to the public, and examines proposed solutions to ethics violations. The course is given by Anthony Collings, an Emmy-Award-winning former CNN correspondent.

Upper-level undergraduates.

Class Format:
