=Welcome to the AP US Government Wiki for Mass Media=

We will use this page to share our discussion about the role of Mass Media and our political system.

 * Visit the discussion sections of this Wiki's individual pages on Political Cartoons and Political Distraction. Respond to the messages posted. Our goal is to discuss the topics among ourselves so please be responsive to postings by your colleagues. Check the Discussion Board every time you access the Wiki because new discussion threads may have been posted.


 * To the side of the page you'll find the navigation bar. You can access this Home page, as well as the Links page. Explore the links page to find useful things your classmates have posted. If you find helpful websites on the role of Mass Media in our political system, please list these sites there and give a brief explanation of the site's strengths and weaknesses!


 * Each "Fishing for Red Herrings" Team has a supplemental page attached to this Wiki. Again, use the Navigation Box to the side of the page to access your group's individual Wiki. Your team should use its page to discuss the larger issue and identify appropriate "microcosms" relating to the issue. Remember, mastering AP US Government requires understanding what is generally referred to as Current Events. It is up to your group to help the class better understand your assigned issues. Remember, we will be using these pages to illustrate our in-class discussion on Wednesday, January 18.
