How does the mass media operate? How does one interpret information and determine if, when and how the news is slanted? How do you \u201cread\u201d <\/span>information that passes your way? What is the value of information and when is information being used against us? Should one be reading the mass media at all?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Join Keith Harmon Snow for a workshop exploring the western mass media system. Using specific case studies based in his human rights work and media analyses, Keith will offer insights into the media, including structural deceptions, political agendas, racial biases, stereotypes and corporate seductions.
