The course will include a quick survey of contemporary public relations and clarify several discrete elements: publicity, advertising, branding, press agency, public affairs, issues management, lobbying, investor relations and development. This will set the stage for this course, which will focus on working with and, at times, around news media. The core issue of working with the media will encompass guidelines for good media relations, guidelines for working with the press, and understanding the ethical dimensions of the relationships that form. The course will employ case studies, real and hypothetical. The class will break into small groups for the last four or five sessions to develop a set of strategies, employing an array of media, to reach a PR goal the instructor will develop. The instructor will solicit real world opportunities for class teams to work with local/regional interests on a media and communications plan that suits the client.
59956	Lecture-Discussion	T	9:00AM -11:50AM	W	Armory	Rosenstein, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/27/12-12/12/12 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Issues in Contemporary Documen Section Info: Issues in Contemporary Documentary In this course we will watch, analyze, discuss, and write about some of the greatest (and even not so great) documentaries of the past fifty years. Students will learn a bit about the history and development of the documentary, as well as learn to identify, dissect and decode the key ethical issues of: bias, credibility, fairness, representation, privacy, production choices, the difference between documentary and propaganda, and funding and its influence -- all through analysis of the documentary. Students will screen many great programs that they have probably never seen before. Some may inspire, some may infuriate, but they will all hopefully provoke some response. After this course students will see the possibilities of documentary and television journalism in a whole new light. Professor Rosenstein is a Peabody and Emmy Award winning documentary filmmaker who brings his many years of documentary production experience into the classroom.
