Case Study of Media
Propaganda (10%)
Schedule HERE
Students will present a case study of a media
propaganda situation.
-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).
Please assign readings or viewings (ex. YouTubes) AHEAD!.
Present your case study in an 5-8 minute informational talk to our
class. Use the feedback you received for the last
presentation to improve this coming presentation.
This from Aubrey Robinson: I just read a report from the National
Abortion Federation that fits really
well with the Planned Parenthood propaganda presentation our class
saw on
Monday. It found a dramatic increase in hate speech, threats, and
violence
directly correlating to the release of the videos. I just thought
it might
be nice to pass on to the class to show how a propaganda
campaign can still
be effective and successful even when the claims are disproven.
