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.

Differences in China's interaction with the media versus the U.S.

The overreaction of the Chinese government and their oppression of the media shows how different their government reacts with media sources.

Here is a link to a great article on this topic in The New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/07/world/asia/07china.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1. It will be interesting to see how long the Chinese government continues this heightened tracking level and what effect, if any, it will have on both their national and international support.
