Medium Cool is available in Media Services

Especially for my directed Study Students I have put the DVD Medium Cool on Reserve in the Media Center. It's open until 8:00 pm, M-F. See Kevin Salemme for it. If he's not there, remind the desk staff that it's the Red, White and Blue DVD case behind them on/near the right hand side cart with my name on it. See DVD box image posted below on the Sixties site so you can recognize it.

You'll be using it to answer a few questions regarding:
- how news is determined and the problems camera operators faced in the field;
- the access Black Americans had to media in the sixties;
- the relationship between mass media and demonstrations;
- how the followers of Black Power ideology viewed the climate of the sixties;
- what was the difference between perception of protesters at the DNC and the reality exposed by the film?

All class members will be posting as well, stay tuned for due dates.
