Extra Credit Assignment: The Post

DUE 2/8 at the start of class

Please email to [email protected] or print it out to hand in.

Directions: Watch the movie The Post (2017). Its available free on HBOgo.com, for rent on Amazon, &/OR I will be showing segments of it every day during lunch in my room Feb.4th-7th so you can see it for free! Viewings will start at 1:15 sharp, so try to pack lunch to avoid missing it. Write a reflection that answers ONE of the following prompts:

A-Explain the symbiotic (mutually dependent) relationship between the media and the candidates using references from the movie and other sources. Why is the media sometimes hesitant &/or willing to disrupt that relationship? How did the precedent of New York Times Co. vs. The United States of 1971 change the relationship between media and the president? Why does it matter today?

B-What were the Pentagon Papers? Using references from the movie and other sources discuss why the outcome and precedent of New York Times Co. vs. The United States of 1971 was so significant. What parallels do you see with executive power and the media from then to today?

 

Requirements

  • Your response must include specific references to the film (specific lines, scenes, etc.) as well as outside knowledge, textual evidence, &/or current events.
  • Discuss (define, explain, and talk about their significance) 5 or more key terms from Unit 3 in your response.
  • Your response should be at least 1 page in length (typed double space, font 12) OR hand written, 2 pages
  • Should have an introduction, one body paragraph minimum, and a conclusion.
