Essay: Between 5 and 8 pages
Use the work of at minimum 2 authors (i.e. you can choose more but this is the minimum quantity) that we have covered this semester to analyze an aspect of contemporary mass media(ation). In your analysis you should attempt to address the following questions: what do the concepts and arguments about media and mediation generated by these media studies scholars reveal about relationship between media and society? How might society be understood through media and media through society? You can focus on forms of media (e.g., television, film, radio, the internet) and/or media artifacts and technologies (e.g. ads/advertising, news stories/broadcasting, social media, tracking apps, etc.). To address these questions you can discuss society in general but, also, it might be helpful to focus on more specific elements of society such as, for example, labor, consumption, communication, or design and art/the arts. You can also discuss your own work, what ever that may be, provided you analyze it in the boarder context of media and society as per the essay questions. Be as concise as possible with your answer and cite all of your sources. (Note: sources and authors outside of the course material are allowed for this essay, but not in lieu of the minimum of 2 authors we have covered. Also, while you can look to your LMS posts, you cannot just copy and paste from them. A separate reference page is also required.)
What I'm looking for:
1) A clear presentation of the author's ideas/concepts and arguments demonstrating an understanding of their text;
2) Agreement and/or disagreement with the author based on a clear understanding of their ideas/concepts and arguments, i.e. what implications do their ideas have on the understanding of media and society? (I do not grade you based on whether you agree or disagree with the author. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with an author, you must base your position in the ideas raised by the author and the implication of those ideas on how we understand media and society.);
3) The use of correct spelling and grammar throughout the essay;
4) A logical presentation of the essay with a clear introduction explaining what you will be writing about and a clear conclusion summarizing the points made in your essay.
