Dissident Media This course introduces students to the existence and impact of dissident media as forces for bringing about social change. In this course, the medium of print journalism receives the most attention. Material also is presented vis-à-vis the role of film as a form of dissident media. Broadly, this course seeks to deepen students’ knowledge and understanding of the power of communication and the importance of social and political dissent. More narrowly, this course seeks to familiarize students with various types of dissident presses, such as the alternative means of communication created by laborers, abolitionists, feminists, African Americans, members of the counterculture, and gay men and lesbians. The major book that is used in the course is Voices of Revolution: The Dissident Press in America by Rodger Streitmatter. Dissident Media was developed and is taught as a second-level course in the university’s General Education program. It also may be used as an elective for communication majors. |
