By the end of the module, students will build on their assessment of media in global and regional as well as national contexts, not being dependent on a “nation-first” approach to international and trans-national issues. Students critique multiple sources --- textual, oral, and audio-visual --- and then establish their own “source web” to produce original content. They will be able to construct and present an original article based on reporting of a significant topic, and an original article based on analysis of political, economic, social, cultural, or ideological aspects of a topic.
