Inhalt:
Media discourses, technologies, and public opinions play significant roles in promoting a democratic culture, behavior, and society. Therefore, media establish, serve, and bring forth new spaces for information flow. One of the primary roles of the media in democratic societies is publicizing essential issues surrounding policy-making and human rights, especially in times of national or regional crises (e.g., natural disasters, wars, terrorist attacks, pandemics). Focusing on the social, political, and cultural implications of the COVID-19 crisis, the aims of this seminar are to comparatively examine the role of media and public opinion in these times. In order to address these aims, the seminar will seek to answer various questions: What are the similarities and differences in public opinion between Israel and other countries (e.g., Germany)? How does media use to promote behavior? How do the public in different countries react to (legacy and digital) media coverage and (mis)information? What challenges do different countries (e.g., Israel vs. Germany) face in an international crisis (e.g., COVID-19)?
In this seminar, students will be required to read and prepare literature, prepare and give short presentations, collect data, and write a final paper.
