How are political views formed? Specifically, discuss how agents of
socialization, such as the family, education, and social groups, shape individual opinions and give examples.
Newspapers, television, and radio are the three most important nondigital sources of information for Americans attempting to learn about politics.
Write an essay that evaluates these three news sources in contemporary
American politics. What are some of the distinct characteristics of each
medium? How do the sources differ from each other in terms of the ways in
which they disseminate news as well as the audiences they reach?
