Public policy and journalism are deeply entwined. Because any well-informed citizen needs to know how the nation's media affect public policy, students will analyze news coverage of current policy issues--ranging from the death penalty to stem cell research to global warming and national security. In the process, students will evaluate the media's strengths and shortcomings and their successes and failures as actors in the policy process. The forces that shape media coverage (including law and regulation, economic forces, public relations firms, lobbyists, and spin-doctors) will also be examined, using readings both historical and current.

There are many reasons to engage in an independent study project: a desire to explore a policy research question in depth; an interest in determining whether academic research might be a potential career path; or the rewards of working closely with an expert in a particular policy field. For many students, an independent study project offers a welcome intellectual challenge. The combination of creativity and sustained effort required for a successful project can yield a strong sense of accomplishment.
