Are you going to be in DC this summer? Interested in getting a course out of the way while you’re there? If so, we wanted to call your attention to a new summer session course offering, Politics, Policy, and the Media (PUBPOL 588SA). This course will be offered at the Duke in DC offices during Summer Session II (July 1 – August 8), and will be held Monday and Wednesday evenings, so as to not interfere with internships. The course will be taught by a mix of Duke faculty and DC-based alumni and other industry guest lecturers.
More details are provided below. If you have any questions, reach out to Professor Phil Napoli at philip.napoli@duke.edu. You can find out more about Duke Summer Session here.

This course examines the contemporary political and policymaking landscape, with a particular emphasis on the role that both traditional media forms, such as mainstream journalism, and newer media forms, such as social media, play in the dynamics of opinion formation, public deliberation, policymaking, policy advocacy, and political campaigning. This course will take advantage of the Washington, DC location to bring in guest speakers engaged in various aspects of the political and policymaking processes, with an emphasis on those engaged in processes such as political campaign communication, political advocacy, politics, and policy reporting, and the measurement of public opinion.
