My very own blog.....for my very own thoughts...this should be exciting...
This blog is for my GOVT 318 course titled Media and Foreign Policy. It's interesting just how much the two are interwoven on so many levels. I am excited to investigate this relationship on a more candid level by monitoring the news for four months. Both domestic and international news outlets affect foreign policy of many states simply by the stories they broadcast. In many instances, "the media" acts as another player in both the national and international systems. Such a blog is necessary so my critical engagement with the two can be charted. Maybe by the end of this course, I will actually have "the answer" to the question "How does Media affect foreign policy and vice versa?" Well actually....I highly doubt that....but at least I get to blog...
Until next time....
