Week 5: Discussion One and two

44 unread replies.55 replies.

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

When broadcasters in the 1920s welcomed government regulation, do you think they benefited from the government intervention? Why or why not? Do you think that these regulations have “kept with the times,” allowing for appropriate freedoms while maintaining appropriate privacies? Where do you see federal or state regulations going in the next ten to twenty years, and how will that impact you as a journalist?

In your response, consider historical as well as current controversies that surround media regulation. When answering these questions, consider the readings throughout the course, as well as the recommended materials. Also, consider the impact to the journalism profession and to journalism careers while examining their implications to journalism, communication, or mass media.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the assigned and/or recommended resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.
