Contents

This course will look at the way the law is portrayed through the media (film, television, radio, print media and the Internet, fact and fiction), how social media affects the law - positivela and negatively, and what role the media plays in the administration of justice.
The language focus in the course will be on oral communication, in particular in-depth discussion. Using a variety of (audio and visual) sources, students will be expected to discuss and critically analyse the way the media conveys information about the law and how this can be perceived by viewers, readers and listeners. Students will lead and take part in discussions relating to specific aspects of media coverage, and also on criminal and civil cases that have been reported on or dramatised. In small groups students will also produce a short podcast which will be published online.

Recommended literature

All materials and course resources will be provided online (via StudOn).
