Vocab test and other matters

We'll be turning our discussion to other media beyond news media, starting with this week. We will continue, however, talking about news media as coverage arises that fits our course interests.

Blog every week, on topics related to your reading assignment. For this Friday, that includes chapters 8 and 12 from the textbook.

Define these terms, to help you study for your vocabulary test on Friday:

What is the difference between ethnicity and race?

The brown sugar stereotype in advertising (chapter 17)

The lotus blossom stereotype in advertising (chapter 17)

See the Sept. 6 entry at lambiase4250.blogspot.com for more definitions, from our class discussion—those class notes will help you on the test.

What is media literacy or critical media consumption?

What is a case study?

What is content analysis?

What is interreality comparison and why is it important?

What is cultivation theory (p. 108 in textbook)?

What is a good definition of stereotyping? Be able to give some examples from the news media.

What is face-ism?
