The article from WHDH discusses a new course at Emerson College titled "The Intersection of News and Comedy," which explores how comedy influences and reflects news media. Taught by Professor Joe Zappa, the class examines the role of late-night shows, satirical news programs like "The Daily Show," and the impact of social media on news consumption. The course delves into how humor can engage audiences with news, potentially increasing political awareness and participation, while also addressing the ethical considerations of mixing comedy with journalism. Students analyze various media formats to understand the balance between entertainment and information, and how this blend affects public perception and discourse.
