Media in U.S.-Japan Relations: A Look at Stereotypes

"The goals of The Media in U.S.-Japan Relations: A Look at Stereotypes are to help students distinguish fact from opinion, identify point of view and objectivity, understand bias, and recognize multiple perspectives in the media. Using historical and contemporary images and themes seen in U.S. and Japanese media, we introduce students to how the media sometimes creates and perpetuates stereotypes and shapes opinion in its dissemination of information. We hope to stimulate students to question their sources of information regularly so that they may form and articulate their own informed opinions." (text taken from SPICE)
