This course will investigate the cultural and ideological functions of panic and the social and political uses of scandal as they circulate through contemporary media and communications. By analyzing the form and institutional contexts of selected news media, film, television and digital media, we will engage critically with debates around media effects, distribution, representation and regulation.
