Talk about "Fake News" this Interterm in COM 351!

This interterm course discusses how “fake news” may be a popular topic but in reality, it’s nothing new. For thousands of years, advocates have used propaganda, sometimes based on less than truthful assertions, to achieve their goals. The times change but many of the techniques remain the same.

This class does not necessarily take a negative view of propaganda. Instead, the class explores how it is employed, and how it is made effective. We start with the most successful movement in history --- Christianity --- and extend our learning into latter movements such as socialism, National Socialism, as well as contemporary propaganda and its use of social media. We will explore this through lectures, outside speakers and critical films, including “Narnia”, “The Battleship Potemkin”, “Triumph of the Will” and “The Battle of Algiers”.

The lecturer, Joel Kotkin, has extensive media experience making documentaries for German television networks ZDF and ARD, PBS and Channel 11 Fox TV in Los Angeles. He has had columns in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times and currently with the OC Register, the Daily Beast, and Forbes. He is the author of nine books, many of them translated into different languages,  and all have appeared in paperback.
