Join Myras Osman in his 15th year with The Knowledge Exchange for an exploration of the history of the newspaper industry, including yellow journalism and the industry's impact on American political life. The course will include coverage of the progressive muckraking reformers who changed journalism in both newspapers and magazines. The last two weeks of the course will examine the impact of radio and television from the 1920s to present day culminating with a trip down memory lane with a discussion of the classic TV shows of the 1950s and 60s that can still be viewed and enjoyed today.
