As the 2022 midterm election season enters high gear, with control of Congress at stake, this seminar examines the most challenging period for American political journalism since Watergate and the Vietnam War - and one of the most fascinating. Count on developing your own understandings of how the country reached this point, what role journalism plays and what will happen next, after the most tumultuous campaign for the presidency and Congress in at least 50 years. We will explore such themes as polarization, political image-making and advertising, voting rights and voter suppression, as well as campaign rhetoric and policy issues.
