(Oc. 12-16)
Week 3
summaries & lecture-related
material
Pilgrim on
magazines
Some magazine facts and observations
Magazine concepts
A few new ways magazines are being presented in a world of digital
communication
Pilgrim on
radio
Some radio concepts, facts and observations
Bagdikian's Chapters 4 and 5
A re-posting of imporant assertions in "(Not) All the news that's fit
to print" and "All the news that fits"
Notes:
No summary of "Reel Bad Arabs" will be posted. Note the alternative narratives
suggested for humane portrayal of Arabs.
No Web summaries of "Dreamworlds 3," will be
posted. Take notes on the the connections to "Killing us
softly 3," on the concept of "the gaze" and assertions
regarding "objectification of women" and the "normalization of violence against
women" (similar to Kilbourne's arguments in "Killing Us Softly 3"
). And, think if Cultivation Theory might apply to arguments in this
video.
In "Money for nothing," note the concepts "synergy" (again -- it was in
"Rich Media, Poor Democracy" -- a concept describing corporate power via
by cross-promotion, cross-production & ad leverage),
"hypercommercialism" of culture and
"cross-media marketing." Also, note the "four gatekeepers" of popular music
and the "alternatives"
McChesney suggests that would help the music industry.
Pilgrim also recommends the supplemental older videos, "Dreamworlds 2"
"Bell Hooks" "Playing Unfair" and "Ethnic
Notions" as superior videos on gender and diversity, along with
"The Killing Screens" for more on violence.
In addition, newer videos, like
"Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats & Rhymes," offer further examination regarding
diversity and media. See the WWU library catalog or contact the video
reserves desk at Wilson Library.
All are
available in Western's library -- as are "Crisis of the Cultural
Environment,"
"The Electronic Storyteller," "Gender and Communication: Male
Female Differences in Language and Nonverbal Behavior" and other
videos by Jean Kilbourne, such as earlier "killing Us Softly"
versions and "Slim hopes" (about America's obsession with thinness
and how it relates to eating disorders).
REMEMBER -- NEXT WEEK IS THE FOURTH WEEK; EXAM 1 IS THURS., Oct. 22.
Pilgrim will
post on Mon., Oct. 19, some additonal material that will be excluded from
Exam 1
and will review part of Wed., Oct. 21. There will be no "study guide."
