The first paper represents new student research
completed in December 2002 and the following three papers were completed in December, 2001 by undergraduate students
in the J468 course at USC Annenberg, entitled, "The American Press and
Issues of Sexual Diversity." These term projects were selected for the
SOIN webite for their excellence, depth of research, and relevance to
contemporary issues of the kind that could be discussed in journalism
classrooms. The four papers examine the following: A study of how the
media cover openly gay candidates; Defects in the "expose"
of AIDS-inflicted priests in the Kansas City Star; an analysis of homoerotic
elements in the musical, "Rent," and how the media handled the issue;
and an analysis of the political forces involved in just-signed benefits
for gay couples in California and how those forces manipulated or tried
to manipulate the press.
