    Description

    MC225 Confronting the Digital World 3 credits
    Everyone lives in the digital world today, which means that whether we like it or not we're publishers and writers. But how much are we taking for granted, both in terms of the impact the digital world has on us and the people we care about and in terms of our rights and responsibilities as individuals living in that world? This course uses a journalist's code of ethics along with an understanding of journalism's role in democracy as a starting point for examining these questions. Addresses GLE Learning Outcomes Ethical Reasoning (ER), Teamwork (TW) and Technical Literacy (TL).
