For this second assignment, construct a 7-8 page paper that:
a) illustrates an accurate description of content analysis as it applies to qualitative methods supported by classroom concepts;
b) provides a detailed content analysis (with matrix) of a particular form of popular media (via either 30-plus minutes of content, 20-25 images, or some other parameter (instructor permission for which must have been obtained prior to the submission of this assignment);
c) identifies extant gaps in the literature and recommends further research in the content analysis area based upon the findings of your analysis.
Your paper should utilize sound critical thought, refer to course materials, and be written in APA-format (to include a title page, abstract, appropriate in-text citations and a reference page).
For help with APA formatting, consult the APA manual (2019) and/or the following websites:

This is what you did for me last week, so base this information off of media content.
Media content analysis is the process of dismantling bits of media using quantitative or qualitative research techniques. Quantitative research techniques used in Media Content Analysis hints at a much more organized and constrained approach to eliciting information from media snippets. Qualitative approaches include watching the clip and engaging in unstructured open discussion and debate on the clip's themes and impact. Harold Lasswell (1927) pioneered media content analysis to study mass media, originally to study propaganda (Skalski et al., 2017). Today, it assists you in defining and comprehending your media profile by assessing topics, messages, advocates, critics, media, and journalists, assigning qualitative ratings to print, television, and internet coverage, and suggesting appropriate public relations action and reaction.
A typical media study may answer the relevant questions:
· How do the mainstream press frame public debates about issues (through repetition)?
· Different narrative components, utilizing common metaphors, citing comparable characters, etc.)?
· Who are the primary spokespersons for a particular issue, and how are they selected?
· Are you being referred to? Are they primarily advocates, policymakers, academic specialists, etc.?
· How frequently are different spokespeople cited, and in what context?
· What subjects are being addressed, and what ones are being ignored?
· Which sources are covering or ignoring a topic or entity that they have been covering?
· Is there a year when a problem or institution is more apt to be highlighted than others?
· Is it a topic or organizational front-page headlines, and if not, where is it covered in the paper?
· Which journalists are reporting on this issue/organization?
Another recent media content analysis I would like to focus on is education-financing reform, specifically on a lawsuit brought by a nonprofit organization against the city of New York seeking to alter the state's public school funding system. This study will show the optimal communications approach for activists and proceed by obtaining comments in the news discussing how their work related to the case. Advocates must actively approach reporters to become quoted experts on New York City Composing a Media Analysis schools, proposing an alternate perspective in media coverage of education policy discussions will be given priority.

This is another student’s work from last week:
Media has existed in human society for thousands of years, and as it changes it affects, reflects, and co-constitutes human society and behaviors, as noted in our reading this week. The analysis of media, whether it be netflix, social media, books, art, etc; seems to be the most evocative of social norms, human behavior, and societal morals. The concept of coding seems complicated, and I would warrant that no two people would code in media analysis in the exact same way. A researcher could also look at the same piece of media and end up with vastly different research questions and analysis depending on their own biases and history. In terms of topic ideas for the next assignment, nothing immediately occurs to me the way it did for the first assignment. I think that over the next few days I will make an effort to engage with the media I typically use and think about it with the framework from our reading about making the obvious obvious and describing everything I see and don't identify as strange, making the hidden obvious and considering what is missing from the media and why, and making the obvious dubious in a way that destabilizes my own understanding of the media. I recently have been curious about social media algorithms and how you get shown more and more images that you "like" the longer you use different internet sites or social networking sites. When I pick up a friends phone and look at their facebook or instagram, the content is vastly different than what I see on my phone despite us having significant overlap in terms of friends, shared groups, or shared interests. I've also been watching movies at work that are themed and this weekend we are watching romcoms. I think that I could easily get my brain to work some content/media analysis with that type of media because a lot jumps out at me as being silly or predictable when I watch those types of movies. I suppose following my curiosity is what will help me decide what to write about.
