   -Does the Frontline information concern you?  If so, what concerns you and why?  If not, why not?

Case Study of Media Propaganda

We have now seen a number of examples of propaganda and persuasion in the media.  We have looked at a number of different propaganda techniques, and have read in BLUR a framework for investigating and analyzing news media. 

For this assignment, you choose a propaganda situation and present an analysis including:

-Define the propaganda situation (what, where, when, who, how, & questions)
-Tell an interesting story about the propaganda situation.
-Explain what propaganda techniques were used by whom.
-Explain who was the target audience.
-Was the propaganda campaign successful?  If so why, if not, why not?

Please create a handout for the audience (can be a web page online, or a paper handout).

Present your case study in an 8-10 minute informational talk to our class.  Use the feedback you received for the last presentation to improve this coming presentation.
