Description:
The media play a great role in creating the images of a foreign country
and in influencing international relations. This lecture will explain the
media's roles in image-building and international relations by focusing
on U.S.-Japan relations. The specific purpose of this lecture is three-fold:
it will (1) provide knowledge about news flow/content between the U.S.
and Japan, (2) explain the influence of the news on Japanese and Americans
in terms of image-building and policy-making, and (3) describe the roles
of the media in contributing to world peace.
Objective:
Students are encouraged to discuss what the media can do to build friendly
international relationships.
