I look forward to getting to know you all in Media and Society this spring. I'm looking forward to exploring the role of media in society and the interaction of media with society with you. My most important goals for you are to improve your media literacy so that you can evaluate real news and identify fake news and to ignite your passion about whatever form of media most interests you.
To get us started, please comment with a bit of your background, your major, why you're in this class, which medium or media most intrigues you — and why.
This assignment will be worth your first 10 points and is due by 11 a.m. Monday, Jan. 23.
