Final exam — Monday, Dec. 11, 2-4 p.m.

Hey guys,

I've just posted the PowerPoints for you to review for the final, which will start with Chapter 6 (Radio) and go through today's lecture on Media Law.

Good luck! I'll be at home the rest of the week, but you can call my cell if you need to talk to me before Monday morning. 501 472-1576.

Study hard, and don't forget your potluck offering!

See you Monday.

DLS

Evaluating News Sources

Using the Evaluating News Sources handout from class, choose five media outlets from across the political spectrum — one or two from the left/liberal side, one or two mainstream and one or two from the right/conservative side. Compare/contrast the coverage of one day's news across the five outlets. How is the news alike? How is it different? Were some items left out? Why? Can you tell where the media outlet lines up (liberal, conservative, neutral)? How and why? Do this for two days, so you'll have 10 total observations.  Post those here, and in conclusion, tell me whether you think the chart is accurate. Due by 11 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 6.
