Mass media

For your final paper which should be no longer than 4 pages (less than that is fine), you will have two options:

  1. Create & complete your own mass media assignment.
  2. Research & discuss a current controversy in media.

Option 1: Create & complete your own mass media assignment.
Assume the role of instructor for CMST&102. What is an assignment you would create as part of this course? You may want to revisit the course description & outcomes, the textbook, additional assigned reading, video/audio clips and other supplemental material, etc. from the quarter. After you have created the assignment, you get to complete the assignment. For example, if you describe a film analysis assignment, you would then complete a film analysis OR if you designed a television program analysis using a media theory from chapter 2, you would complete said analysis of a television program.

As part of this option, please include your response to the following question: Why did you select this topic? Please identify a specific concept/theory we covered in class (either from our Hanson textbook OR additional assigned reading) that prompted your interest in creating this assignment.
