Write a 3- to 4-page argumentative essay that examines the specific case of media influence over the political world.

Choose a specific political issue dominating a present news cycle. The purpose of your analysis is to reveal how this particular issue is framed across the four different forces of social integration and the social construction of reality.

First, explain your choice of media text as an example of framing a particular political issue serving the specific interests of the framer. Next, explain the ways in which media influence of the political world operates to create a spectacle of political inclusion for average viewers/voters. In what ways does this framing disserve or inhibit the inclusion of average audiences into the social construction of reality?

In the critical phase of your argumentative essay, include a discussion of the empirical evidence/facts omitted from the mass media framing of the issue you choose to analyze.
Your paper must:
Be 3-4 pages in length.
Be well written.
Include at least three references from the readings or outside sources, cited in proper APA style. The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find these sources.

Follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.
