Chapter 7 essays

By now you should know the drill...

1)Compare and contrast the roles of the different types of media in American politics. In particular, examine the different types of media in terms of where people get their news, the level of trust in each type, and how each media type reports the news.

2)What role do the media play in defining the policy agenda? How can the media be used by policy entrepreneurs to achieve their objectives? Is such use a problem or a virtue in Americaʹs democratic system? Explain.

3)Has the increase in information technologies in society created a more informed citizenry? Why or why not? What claims do the commercial media make regarding why citizens are or are not informed?

These are due on Monday the 30th. Good Luck!!!!
