Media & World Events

Discussion: what events in recent history do we remember exactly where we were?
Death of Michael Jackson?
Death of Elvis? John Lennon?
Royal Wedding?
Terrorist Attack on Twin Towers?
Death of Osama bin Laden?

Journalism and Biases.
We read article on bin Laden's death; how would a journalist in Middle East tell the story? vs American reporter?

Music and Current Events:
two songs that came out after 9/11; note very different tones:

Where were you when the world stopped turning?/ Alan Jackson
