In a 1000-word(minimum) essay, students will apply the theoretical perspective of one the course authors we’ve encountered to this point to a contemporary media issue. How would JS Mill, for example, given his defense of the liberty of the press, respond to the “cancel culture” debates? How might Nancy Fraser respond to the call for all-gender bathrooms? What would dana boyd have to say about Trump’s embrace of Anon? The key to success with this assignment will be the precision, clarity, and sophistication with which you make your case. The closer you stick to the specific texts involved, the better.  Choose one of these authors:  Billy Collins Alice Walker James Carey Mack Hagood  Horton and Wohl  Marx and Engels  Horheimer and Adorno J.S. Mill danah boyd  Habermas Nancy Fraser Hadley Cantril McLuhan
