This course uses tools from the study of everyday interaction to explore one-on-one interactions in the electronic media. The course focuses on two genres in two different media: television news and call-in radio. Alongside theoretical studies, the course uses data sessions to analyze different television and radio segments. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Comm majors.

Open to Senior and Junior Communication majors only. This course was formerly numbered COMM 497AG. If you have already taken this course as COMM 497AG then you cannot take this course.
