Welcome Spring 2011 Students!

This is Club MediaNote, where you will find links to each day's MediaNotes. MediaNotes are typically presented at the beginning of class, and are represented on each quiz and test.

The first MediaNote of the semester is from last Sunday's Los Angeles Times. Film Critic Neil Gabler wrote an article about a new male stereotype in the movies: The Lout. Gabler says The Lout is insensitive, something of a slacker, and fairly indifferent toward women. They are, Gabler speculates, a media-created backlash to feminism and the changing role of men in American society.
