During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of media politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.

Framing
This link from WSJ.com is a prime example of issue framing. An Israeli news cast takes a call from a Palestinian man who mourns the loss of his three daughters. Though not much is said by the news team, the audience is made to feel sympathetic towards the helpless father, humanizing the violence of the last month.
