Discussion Post
This discussion centers upon the role of the media and dominant discourse. Complete the following steps:
A. Find two articles, each from a different news source, that deal with the exact same event or issue related to international conflict and political violence.
B. Making specific reference to this week's readings, critically compare the coverage provided by each article. What is the focus of each article? What objective information does each article provide? What subjective claims are made?
C. Once you have identified their similarities and differences, identify at least one of the narratives used by each article. How does each narrative affect their coverage of the event or issue?
