Week 3 Discussion
- What is the function or purpose of broadcast radio and TV in a democratic society? How does your local radio and TV station(s) fulfill this purpose?
- How does "public broadcasting" differ from "commercial broadcasting"? In recent years, some politicians have wanted to do away with funding for public broadcasting in the United States. Why is there an interest in silencing public radio and TV?
- How have celebrities' involvement in #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter influenced the discussion of sexism, racism, and privilege in America?
- To what extent did images and sounds on the topic of #MeToo and #BLM (such as newspaper photos, TV news stories, popular music, etc.) influence the discussion of sexism, racism, and privilege in America? In other words, if we were living a hundred years ago and citizens could not "tune in" to sounds and images - would there be as much of a movement on these social issues as we have seen in the past year or so?
