JANUARY WEEKEND [Friday, January 13th]

The key words of the weekend :

Input from Barry Finnegan / Lecturer  - Journalism & Media Communications, Griffith College

I’ve attached readings on:

- Intro to Sociology of the Media;

- Curran’s four country, citizen’s political knowledge;

- News Values and how they work;

- Chomsky’s propaganda model;

and

- on Iraq war, how many people believed the lies the media told about Iraq and how they were more likely to support the invasion of Iraq as a result.

Here’s a small sample of the people’s journalism:
