GOV 323 HUMAN RIGHTS AND MEDIA
An examination, through a variety of media, of the complicated relationship between mediated violence and mobilization to halt it. Why does media coverage of human rights atrocities sometimes mobilize people to take action to stop them, while at other times it is met with indifference? Why are some conflicts covered in the media, while others are ignored? Do different forms of media have a greater or lesser impact on mobilization? What are the various methods that human-rights activists have employed to overcome compassion fatigue?
