International Student Interview

International Student Interview - Due Friday, 2/6
COM 130 students, one of your next blog assignments involves interviewing an international student on campus. Chapter 1 of your text discusses how media is essentially the United States' leading export. Think movies, books, television shows, etc. How many young people in other countries learn about us through our media that we export? The text also discusses the "free press" we enjoy here, compared to government-controlled press in other countries.

You are the interviewer, you ask the questions! Let your own curiosity guide you through the interview. Make your post at least 500 words. You also need to submit your post to TurnItIn. Don't forget to add hyperlinks, pictures or videos to enhance your storytelling. Perhaps, there is a funny commericial you'd like to show us!

If you are an international student at LU, you can certainly interview a student from a different country if you want to. However, it would be fine for you to answer the questions yourself on your blog about how the media in your home country differs from the United States' media, and observations you have made since living here.
