Special Topics in Journalism; Machine Editors: Search Engines, Social Media, and The News

Students will explore the deep and far-reaching impact that digital platforms (search engines and social media) have in the distribution of news. Through readings, discussions, and in-class exercises, we will investigate how these algorithmically-defined mediators have become external curators and editors of news, and how journalists have been adapting, resisting, or reframing their practices towards them.
