Media and Culture Studies
Orientalism: A Brief Definition By Edward Said, who has written numerous works on Orientalism, Imperialism, Palestine, and the media's coverage of Islam. Quite possibly the most awesome essayist out there right now.
The Postman Page Neil Postman is a professor at Columbia, and has written extensively on how television, media, and techonology influence our culture, as well as on childhood and education. I recommend "Technopoly," and "How to Watch TV News," as well as "Amusing Ourselves to Death."
Forward from Amusing Ourselves to Death From Neil Postman's most well known work about "public discourse in the Age of Show Business"

Meltdown at Three Mile Island Ok, so nuclear explosions and meltdowns aren't "cool," per se, but it is something that I find very interesting. These sites on Three Mile Island and Chernobyl may be informative and interesting for teens and college students, esp. those with an interest in physics.
