During your experience, you might reflect on questions such as:
- How does what we pay attention to and what we ignore shape reality?
- Who is manipulating our attention, and why?
- How is social media shaping news and journalism?
- How is media used to both promote and fight authoritarianism?
(Or, you might just blithely pursue profit and influence. The choice is yours.)
