How should we think about the news media we encounter every day?
Dr. Bob Dickson has some thoughts.
Dickson is the chair of the communication department at The Master’s University, and he has recently begun teaching a course titled News Media Literacy. In this month’s edition of The Mustang Connection magazine, he offers practical advice on how to make sense of the print media and broadcast news we encounter every day.
This month, you’ll also meet Alyssa Ramos, second-year student at TMU who walked away from a promising career as a professional chef in order to study biblical counseling. Since coming to Master’s, she says she’s seen God work in her life in foundational ways.
Last but hardly least, the magazine shines a light on Dr. William Varner’s latest book, “Messiah’s Ministry: Crises of the Christ.” This is the final work in Varner’s trilogy covering the life of Christ.
As always, you’ll also find a list of books recommended by a TMU professor and updates on what TMU alumni are up to these days.
You can subscribe to receive the magazine each month via email at masters.edu/magazine.
