This course explores some enduring research questions concerning mass communication and American public opinion. Important normative and conceptual issues are identified and examined by reviewing some early writings (ca. 1890-1930) in social philosophy and social science. These issues are then investigated further through a review and discussion of relevant research in sociology, political science, social psychology, and mass communication.
