Media Analysis (100 pts): For this project, you will explore, in depth, the media coverage and treatment of your proposed topic. Please find at least two examples of news media coverage (blog, article, newscast, etc.) and at least two examples of social media commentary (tweet, FB post, article or blog comment), ideally expressing differing views or opinions; one of your four examples may also be a piece of entertainment media (TV show, sketch, web short, commercial, movie, music video, etc.), if your topic has been covered by it. Prepare a 1000-1200 word analysis on: 1.) the background and context of the media artifacts (where it appeared, what the “rules” of this particular media platform are, how these “rules” have shaped a particular media culture); 2.) summary of each media artifact’s argument/perspective; 3.) how the different rules and cultures of each media platform have contributed to the way your topic was treated on these different platforms; and 4.) what your personal view is in response to the arguments/perspectives put forth by the media artifacts you analyzed.
