PROJECT OUTLINE
Students will be assigned projects organized by countries. Each student
will be assigned a topic/element. See list below. These
topics/elements correspond to those that we have covered throughout
the course which outlined and defined media.
Each student will then present their assigned topic/element as it plays
out in the media of the specific country that has been assigned. For
example, you may be assigned to Australia and individually you are
assigned to journalism/censorship as a topic/element. So, you will be
presenting a project focused on how the topic/element of journalism/
censorship plays out in Australian media.
Each student will create a Web page or PowerPoint presentation
outlining with creative flair the characteristics of the media by assigned
topic/element and country. The projects, submitted individually, should
include each element covered (see below) along with all references used
for the project listed by element (web pages with addresses, articles or
textbooks used, etc.).
You will also provide a comparative analysis of your topic in your
assigned country and the United States. For example, compare public
relations and propaganda in South Africa to public relations and
propaganda in the United States.
Once finished, these projects will be uploaded using the Project
Assignment Link.
The due date for the project will be listed in Module 7.
To review, each student presents a distinct element/topic and how these
topics/elements manifest in the media of the country, in television,
movies, newspapers, magazines, etc., or you can present them all in the
same format/medium. The emphasis or focus should be how topics/
elements are manifested in the media of that country. In other words,
information must be directly relevant to media. The list below shows the
elements/topics that we covered in the class.
