Homework: Event and Media Literature Paper
The Capstone Project is a 4-part project that will require students to critically analyze and research an event that has been covered extensively in the media. The project will consist of an introduction, a case study, a final paper, and a video. The Capstone Project homework contributes to (i) the writing homeworks for Gordon Rule, and (ii) assessment of the University Core Curriculum outcomes of critical thinking, content knowledge, and written/oral communication skills.
To begin this homework, pick a current event within the last year. The event should have been covered in the media extensively, from a local, national, and global standpoint. Then the event must align with one of the four issues that are covered in your textbook.
These four issues are:
• Ownership of Mass Media Businesses
• Sports
• Media Violence
• Privacy
Write an 800 words essay in APA Style that identifies the key ideas of the event:
Question 1. How did the media shape the event/story?
Question 2. How did others react to the way it was portrayed in the media?
Question 3. Did others create movements based on the way the media portrayed the event?
Question 4. Did people react differently in other parts of the world?
