Using the News: Integrating the New York Times (and other print
media) into Communication Intensive (and other) Classes
Because of its broad range of coverage and the
depth of its articles, the New York Times lends itself to the
classroom teaching of virtually any subject. Glenn Petersen
has been using the Times in all his anthropology, geography, and
international affairs classes (undergraduate and graduate) for
more than a decade now, and would like to invite fellow faculty
to consider using it, and other print sources, as well. Journalism
professors Sarah Bartlett and Andrea Gabor join
him in a panel discussion that will consider how the news is put
together and how we can take it apart in the classroom in order
to use it to best effect. Regular use of newspapers can enhance
the teaching of any subject by serving to convince students of
the day-to-day relevance of their course materials, to help them
learn to become active readers, and to provide intensive exposure
to source materials they are likely to continue engaging long
after their formal education is done.
