Discussion What Is NewsAs you watch a local news program or re.docx

elinoraudley582231

Discussion: What Is News? As you watch a local news program or read a newspaper, you consume the report of recent events created by professional—and sometimes amateur—writers, editors, and reporters. Regardless of their status, these journalists take time to consider the details of a story and how to present it to you, the news consumer. These details can have a powerful effect on how you perceive local, national, and world events. In this Discussion, you will have an opportunity to become a more savvy news consumer by choosing a news story, determining how it was created, and tracking its “newsworthiness” from the day the story “breaks” through several days afterward. To prepare for this Discussion: · Choose a discussion thread based on the topics available this week. · Each thread will present a different topic for a news story. For the topic stated in your chosen thread, you will find a news story that has the necessary elements for it to be considered news and determine whether the news story will persist or fade away. · Review Chapter 13 in the Course Text, The Dynamics of Mass Communication: Media in Transition. · Based on the five elements in the reading, reflect upon what is considered to be “news” and what is not. How does the definition of news change? · Consider the multiple modes of mass communication used to deliver news stories. How do you consume news? How does your choice of mode impact how you view local and world events? For this Discussion, choose one thread from the choices listed this week. Each thread is limited to a maximum number of students based on class size. A thread will close if the limit is reached. If a thread is closed to new posters, select from the open threads. You will post both your initial post and your response post in the same thread. By Day 3 Thread 1: International Relations · Post a 1- to 2-paragraph explanation of why you believe that your chosen international relations news story is or is not considered “news.” Could this news story be the headline or lead story for today’s evening news? What aspects of the story’s message make you believe it would be or wouldn’t be the lead story for the evening news, and why? Refer to 2 specific examples from your course reading or your chosen news story and record in your assignment information about each source, including author, year, page number, and publication title. Thread 2: Economics · Post a 1- to 2-paragraph explanation of why you believe that your chosen economics news story is or is not considered “news.” Could this news story be the headline or lead story for today’s evening news? What aspects of the story’s message make you believe it would be or wouldn’t be the lead story for the evening news, and why? Refer to 2 specific examples from your course reading or your chosen news story and record in your assignment information about each source, including author, year, page number, and publication title.

COM 510 Final Project One Research Paper Guidelines and Rub.docx

monicafrancis71118

COM 510 Final Project One: Research Paper Guidelines and Rubric Overview The first summative assessment for this course is preparation of a six-page research paper that will demonstrate your media literacy skills. These skills are arguably more important in today’s new media environment than any previous point in history. As we navigate our complex new media environment, we all need the skills to make sense of the messages we receive, the ability to understand how messages are constructed, and be able to see how the meanings within messages can potentially influence content consumers. Development of the paper is supported by two milestones, which will be submitted in Modules Two and Three. This assessment will assess your mastery with respect to the following course outcome:  Demonstrate advanced media literacy skills by researching, verifying, and effectively applying relevant, credible sources of information Prompt In this paper you will deconstruct a media message of your choosing. This means you will closely examine an audio-, video-, or text-based news story of your choice. Note: It must be accessible online by your instructor (For example, a Huffington Post or New York Times article or CNN.com video). Through this process, you will seek to understand who created the message, who is the intended receiver, how the content was created, what values or biases are present in the content, and what hidden meanings might be present. You will complete original research and find a minimum of three sources to support your interpretations and arguments discussed in the following critical elements. You can fulfill the research requirement for the paper in several ways. One option is to find scholarly resources that support a claim you make in the paper. For example, you might argue that the author is biased. You could then include research about bias in news reporting. Another option is to research different persuasive tools beyond those provided in your class readings and use those sources to fulfill your research requirement. Another option is to research more information on media literacy to include in your discussion. Whichever way you decided to incorporate research is up to you; however, you must use credible academic sources (click here for more information on identifying academic sources) and use proper APA formatting style. Refer to your APA Publication Manual for more information about these elements. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in the research paper: 1. Introduction: Provide an introduction to your paper, specifically: 1.1. Provide an overview of the story you selected and indicate what type of medium is used to tell the story (video, audio, words). Answer the question, “What is here?” 1.2. Include a link to the news article you selected and describe the source of the story. Specifically, who created it? http://owll.massey.ac.nz/academic-writing/identif.

International Issues Paper Instructions– Winter 2018 .docx

normanibarber20063

International Issues Paper Instructions– Winter 2018 You are required to turn in a one paragraph summary explaining which recent international event you INTEND to write your paper on to your TA on the evening of Feb. 12 (the night of the midterm).Please be sure there are sufficient newspaper articles available to support your topic choice. The purpose of this project is to further develop your critical thinking, research skills and to encourage you to delve into an international issue of your choosing. The project consists of two components: a collection of at least four current newspaper articles related to a single international event of your choosing, and 2000 word summary-analysis paper devoted to the articles you selected for this project. You will also need to include a “works cited” or bibliography page along with hard copies of each of your news articles when you submit your essay on Monday, March 5. All materials for this project are due to your TA in lecture on Mon., March 5, 2018. Late papers will lose 10 points for each day they are late. Purpose of the Paper (Examining the Production of Contemporary Historiography) - The goal of this paper is to allow you to analyze how “historiography” is an ongoing process largely influenced by the news media. History is a subjectively generated product. History incorporates the biases and viewpoints of those who produce it. The news media today is a key source in providing us with “meaning” connected to newsworthy “historical” events. In fact, the news media is in fact a major part of the process that generates "history.” Although news media reporters and editors frequently claim that they are presenting “just the facts," the way in which these “facts” are presented often carry a number of biases that strongly influence public perception and interpretations of current events. For this assignment, you are going to pick a specific, single international event and examine how this event is presented by different news media sources from around the globe. You are being asked to compare the articles you have selected for this assignment and discuss how the differing ways in which the event you have chosen actually reflects more than the "plain" facts, but rather reveals complex layers of social values, assumptions, biases, beliefs and meanings by each of your articles' authors. Selecting a Topic 1) First, select a single international news event that has occurred in the past 60 days. Since the purpose of the paper is to address international issues, the event you select for this assignment must have occurred OUTSIDE of the United States (although the issue may INCLUDE the US as one of the agents involved). There are numerous current news issues to choose from, but for this project I strongly suggest that you choose an event of a political or social nature. If you are struggling to find a topic for this paper, you may want to check out res.
