Capstone Project Part 1: Introduction

Please pick a current event within the last year. The event must align with one of the six issues that are covered in your textbook.

These six issues are:

1. Ownership of Mass Media Businesses
2. Sports
3. Fake News
4. Advertising
5. Media Violence
6. Privacy

800 words in APA Style that identifies the key ideas of the event:

• How did the media shape the event/story?
• How did others react to the way it was portrayed in the media?
• Did others create movements based on the way the media portrayed the event?
• Did people react differently in other parts of the world?
• How was the event shaped by various information systems?

DO NOT include the questions within your assignment and make sure you’re not summarizing the event. You should provide examples, sources, and facts to back up your claims. This project is going to require you to be resourceful. You will need to do research outside of your textbook. You will be required to use sources that are reputable and factual. Wikipedia and tabloids are not a good source to use.
