Abstract
Goal: To enhance student understanding of variables that comprise and impact the process of defining what connotes sensitivity and insensitivity with diversity issues and how journalistic interpretation can affect our perception via mass media.
This article presents a unique means for classroom analysis of the blend of politics and diversity issues. A primary objective in the development of my classroom assignments is to construct activities that convey theoretical understanding and illustrate correlation between theory and real world application. Theory and the application of theory should be woven into the fabric of knowledge. The use of C-SPAN videotapes, available from the Public Affairs Video Archives at Purdue University, provide a unique opportunity to meet this teaching objective. Communication scholars have acknowledged the use of C-SPAN as a teaching tool in resources such a C-SPAN in the Communication Classroom: Theory and Application (Muir, 1992).
