Calling all educators in journalism and media studies!
I'm a molecular biologist at #PennState. In the spring I am piloting a new general education course for non-science majors: "Science in Media."
The aim is to combine media literacy skills with hard science topics, through the lens of our shared experience consuming science media during the COVID-19 pandemic.
I am looking for introductory texts on "media" writ large. What has worked for you?
I've found Campbell, Martin, & Fabos; Ott & Mack; Long & Wall; and Deuze. Which do you like? What have I missed?
Any other effective, insightful readings you can recommend?
