The course is open to those with two semesters of Spanish or the equivalent. This four-credit-hour course also counts as a journalism elective.
The class work focuses on media issues in Latin America, with an emphasis on what’s often called the “media environment.” The media environment includes historical, economic, political, legal and societal factors that have shaped and continue to shape the media today, in an age of the Internet and instant communication. The media environment also includes journalism education: how the young are prepared for careers in the media industries.
The course will look to the past, dwell on the present and speculate about the future. The course will broadly survey Latin America and the Caribbean and will focus on Chile.
