Abstract:

This paper explains and evaluates a teaching strategy designed to strengthen student awareness of international news and international perceptions of the United States. Following the terrorist attacks of September 11th, students in my introductory American government course were required to monitor news coverage of the crisis in English-language newspapers published outside the United States. Students wrote reports and gave class presentations that compared political news coverage and analysis in more than 20 countries and related the global ramifications of September 11th with the content of the survey course. The activity has shed light upon both the promise and the challenges of using the Internet as a teaching tool as well as using news coverage from overseas as a lens through which to explore the American political tradition.
