Time: 12:00 - 12:50
Location: KMC 605
In this course, using Berlin as our classroom, we will examine how sports reflect contemporary society on various issues, including race, gender, economics, marketing, mental illness and sexual abuse, among others. We will also look at the basic skills of writing and reporting, interviewing and storytelling, ethical challenges and employment prospects where sports and mass communications intersect.
Where better to do this than in Germany, home of the 2014 World Cup champions and host country to the 1936 and 1972 Olympic Games?
Program will include visits to news organizations, advergising and public relations agencies, Olympic stadium, national parliament, and much more!
