Media Analysis

Instructions:

You are to compare information that the general public would normally see with what you know is accurate from academic sources regarding an issue. Your task is to first summarize what you find in two popular media sources (e.g., popular press book, TV shows, movies, podcasts, news articles, etc.). Next, you will analyze how the issue is portrayed by comparing it to academic sources attached. You can present this as a point-counterpoint way if you choose. In this way, you may say that the popular press says “X” about people with mental illness, but we know that “Y” is actually true based off an academic resource that is attached. You must provide four references from the articles attached for each media source, totaling 8 references.

Your objective is to critically analyze the topic so that you can get a better understanding of what the public may believe versus what it actually the case. In this way, it is not productive to choose outlandish articles, but those that may be reasonably believed.

 

The final product should be approximately 4-6 pages (two to three pages per source). 100% NO PLAGIARISM AS IT WILL BE UPLOADED INTO TURN IT IN!!!
