profileChanel James

You are a freelance journalist hoping to make some extra money while working from home. You learn that Vice News (Links to an external site.) has a call for submissions for articles about unique discourse communities that will engage Vice readers (see genre examples below).

They are particularly interested in stories which explain discourse creation in the inner-workings of under-discussed discourse communities that are unique, fascinating, influential, or worrisome. These could be interesting political or activist groups, fan groups, activity or gaming groups, identity-based groups, content-making groups, or other groups of people with unique interests, theories, or concerns. They might create discourse on a single platform or they might create it across multiple platforms. 

Your research should focus mostly on primary sources Links to an external site.(first-hand, direct accounts). Primary sources in this context are things written by the discourse community members for other members of the discourse community. While news articles or other secondary sourcesLinks to an external site. (second-hand, indirect accounts) written by people outside of the discourse community might be helpful for background research, they will be less useful than discourse created by the discourse community and shared within it.
