THE MAYOR, THE MEDIA, AND THE POLITICS OF POLICY IN NEW YORK CITY

Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy

Date/Time:  Thursday, April 23, 10-11:50am
Location: 6 East 16th Street, Room 1107

 

Faculty: Andrew White

The seminar will explore the interplay of power and influence between the Mayor, the City Council, the news media, community organizations and the private sector (nonprofit and for-profit). How do policy innovations emerge, evolve and become implemented-or blocked-in city government? Students will examine cases from recent history and in the context of current electoral campaigns, while gaining knowledge of city policy on issues such as welfare, police, housing, drugs and education. The course is open to students from Milano as well as Lang College and other divisions of the University.
