My goal is to explore the importance of the media’s portrayal of United States’ relations with Yemen, as a result of the attempted terrorist attack on Christmas Day. I will assess the latest developments in Yemen and the United States’ potential involvement in Yemen, while evaluating any journalistic bias.
In order to address this issue, I will consult several sources.
-I will read credible sources such as The New York Times;
-I will gather commentary from established foreign policy experts;
-Finally, I will interview Furman faculty and students with an extensive knowledge and passion for U.S. foreign policy on their opinions of the emerging concern over Yemen, its impact on the citizens of the United States, and the media’s portrayal of Yemen.
