This course will explore how television and other entertainment media cover issues of race and ethnicity, language, gender, sexual orientation, age and social class and why it is vitally important in a diverse and multicultural society. We will look at how the media works and who controls it; who gets hired and promoted; and how corporate policies, government regulation, marketing, societal pressures and economic realities dictate the changing attitudes and business decisions of the media.
