Final Analysis Writing Assignment

I wanted to give you an idea about some final analysis topics from last summer’s Intro course. Here were some of the topics:

• The Bachelor
• Violence/Video Games
• Media Coverage of CTE
• Fallon and Late Night TV
• Media Coverage of Transgender Rights/Bathroom Bills
• Barstool Sports, Pros and Cons
• First Season of Thirteen Reasons
• Baseball in the New Media Landscape (critical analysis about it’s failure to adopt compared to other sports)
• eSports League
• Media Coverage of Addiction (dependent on stereotypes, etc.)
• Keeping Up with the Kardashians
• Video Games and Health

As you can see, topics were quite far ranging. I recommend accessing the library to read some academic journal articles concerning media if you haven’t before–these will become much more common in upper-level courses. I’ve already posted a couple under “Files/Optional Readings.” There is one article there about Beyonce and one is about the Real Housewivesfranchise. I can post some more there as well, and you could also browse the database Communication and Mass Media Complete
