When you consider them as a whole, do any consistent themes or preoccupations (on the part of journalists or readers or both) emerge? What do the lists suggest is the primary function or functions of the press in America today (informing, entertaining, rumor-mongering, counseling, editorializing, marketing, etc.)? How would Postman explain the kind of stories that predominate the lists? Your response is due -- <u>remember, no late or inadequate responses are given credit</u> -- by Wednesday, Feb. 11, 4 p.m.<br />

<br />
After reading the first article below, describe how Smythe's analysis of the causes of press sensationalism differs from Streitmatter's in MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD. Also, read the second article and be prepared to discuss whether the conditions described there are analogous to those described by Smythe and must inevitably contribute to the same consequences. (I may give a quiz if I'm not satisfied that people have done the reading.)<br />

the primary function of the press in America today (informing,
entertaining, rumor-mongering, counseling, editorializing, marketing,
etc.)? Why do you think this function predominates (ideological
