Today we will be meeting on campus in our normal room, 409. In the afternoon from 13:30-16:30 I have scheduled a make-up class in room 410.
Media and Propaganda Model:
Start with chapter 1 of Herman, Edward S. and Noam Chomsky (2002, 1988) Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media. New York: Pantheon Books. Then check out the following articles:
-
- Herman, E.S. (2000) “The Propaganda Model: a retrospective,” Journalism Studies, 1(1), p. 101-112.
- Chomsky, N. (1997) “What Makes Mainstream Media Mainstream,” Z Magazine, October.
Then watch this documentary, “Manufacturing Consent” (1992) by Mark Achbar and Peter Wintonick, with my accompanying notes. Alternatively, you could start here and then go back and review the readings. Key highlights include (32:50 – 46:05), (2:38:35 – 2:42:53).
-
- Chapter 2 in Chernomas, R., & Hudson, I. (2016). The Profit Doctrine: Economists of the Neoliberal Era. Pluto Press.Must read: an important chapter related to the institutional analysis of the education system, specifically the economics discipline.
