Inhalt: In this class, we are going to explore the contemporary British media landscape. We will establish a theoretical framework – what are news media in the present day? How do they operate in general and in Great Britain specifically? What are news values, and how do they impact reporting? We will always bring this theoretical framework to bear on actual current news articles, reports and commentary. We will equally examine how British media are changing – for example, how does the lack of traditional gatekeeping in the news, e.g. on services like Twitter, change the media landscape? Finally, we may also look at British media from the perspective of narrative fiction: how are the media represented in contemporary serials and films? All the necessary materials will be provided by the course instructor. In case there are exceptions to this rule, I will let you know.
