Discuss at least 1 experience of mainstream media (movie, TV, magazine, newspaper) on a current event.
Did the stories have a “slant” to the story? Did the writers portray one side as better or worse than the other?
Do you think advertisers or media owners might have influenced the story?
Find at least one “alternative” media that has a counter-point to the story. How do their owners or advertisers differ from the mainstream media?
In addition to your mainstream media sources, be sure to support your Discussion with references from the sociology academic journals.
