This course examines the historical development and current transformation of the Spanish language media industry, particularly in the United States. We will examine how political, economic, and cultural constructions of "Latinidad" are implicated in the production, distribution, and consumption of Spanish-language mass media. This course will also have a Community Service Learning component. Spanish-language fluency is not mandatory, but some proficiency will be very helpful.
Open to Senior and Junior Communication majors only.
