Research Essay: Media Icons
Media & Culture Innovators
For the first research essay assignment of the semester, students
are asked to write a biographical research and analysis paper.
You will be provided with a list of approved topics. However,
you are not limited to that list. If you wish to examine another
media/culture figure you must have the topic approved by the
Instructor. Your main goal in this assignment is to research an
important individual who has significantly affected the larger
culture via the media. How has our world been transformed by
this individual’s development or use of the mass media? For
example, Mark Zuckerberg launched the “Facebook Revolution”
only a few short years ago. An essay on Zuckerberg would look
at his biography, the development of Facebook technology and
as a business, and its impact on the larger global culture. The
question to attempt to answer in this assignment is “What makes
the person you have selected a culturally significant topic?”

15. The requirements for the essay are as follows:
· Essays should be approximately 7-8 full pages (typed double
spaced)
· A works cited page must be included
· Students should conform to MLA style (or another standard
comparable format)
· A minimum of 4 sources must be employed in your research
· Wikipedia is not a valid sources for college-level essays
· Late papers will not be accepted
· Completed rough drafts will be critiqued by the Instructor
prior to the final due date if the student wishes to take
advantage of this option
