POWERPOINT: We reviewed key concepts from the textbook:
* Research methodology to measure media impacts (some borrowed from scientific research)
* Social science perspectives
* Flow theories
* How new innovations move through society
Also videos about Dr. George Gerbner's research on TV and movie violence, and Dr. Frederic Wertham's flawed research on comic books.
QUIZ: Ch. 2 Media Impact
HOMEWORK: Read and complete workbook activities for Chapter 3 (Books). Note: We will discuss workbook responses for Chapter 3 in class on Tuesday.
BLOG: Media Impact (15)
After reading Chapter 2 on Media Impact, can you think of a different example (not in the book or the videos we watched) you have heard about when someone blamed media for real-life problems? Describe the situation and find a website or web video that explains it more fully. Embed or use a friendly link.
