While watching, keep notes of the top three stories and the amount of time devoted to each of the three stories.

With your notes in hand, write your comparison of the two newscasts based on these four factors:

the top three news stories covered – whether they match or differ in the two newscasts;
the amount of air time given to each of those three stories;
any difference in the slant of the presentations of the three stories; and
anything you heard that affected the credibility of the people delivering the reports.
To conclude, how would you account for the similarities between the two newscasts in both selection and content of the stories?

Make a case for the most important key issues raised in the documentary “Rich Media, Poor Democracy” and build an argument, anchored in evidence offered in at least two research articles published in different scholarly journals, for why and how the ethical climate for media and specific offerings need to and might be improved.”

The influence of media on population health

 
Background

Media’s influence on woman’s body image ‘thin ideal’

People’s health and wellbeing is the result of the complex interplay of societal, environmental, socioeconomic, biological and lifestyle factors, known as the determinants of health. Most of these factors can be modified to some extent. Understanding why groups have different health outcomes can be achieved by measuring and monitoring these determinants, and contributes to the development and evaluation of policies and interventions that prevent disease and promote health.

Your report needs to include:

2.The identification and critical analysis of the qualitative and quantitative evidence from a range of population health studies that have examined the influence of media on population health.

3.The identification and critical analysis of the evidence of the causal pathways through which media influences population health.

4.Consistent integration of appropriate quantitative measures relating to the characteristics of media, their relationship or impact on health outcomes and the health outcomes of interest.

Topic: Personal Media Inventory

 
Complete: Personal Media Inventory Essay & Worksheet ~ Due Sunday

Instructions
Using this Personal Media Inventory Worksheet (also attached), compile an inventory of all of the media (radio, print, TV, Internet, cell phones, movies, etc.) to which you are exposed from the time you wake to the time you go to sleep for two consecutive days.

After compiling this inventory and participating in the related Week 1 discussion activities in LEO, ponder the implications of your media use in the context of the mass communication and media literacy theories that you explored in this week’s learning resources. (Please do not complete this assignment until you have read all of the Week 1 reading assignments.) Compose an essay of 750-1,050 words that addresses at least the following:
•Use your personal media inventory to help you describe and explain to an alien who has never visited our planet how humans generally use media.
•Analyze and explain what your inventory communicates about your media dependency.
•Analyze and explain what your inventory communicates about media ecology.
•Analyze and explain what the media technologies in your inventory demonstrate about media convergence.
•Analyze and interpret how the technologies in your inventory have affected your sense of self and social life.
•Interpret and hypothesize what you think your media use suggests about media ubiquity and its effects on American society.

You will need to connect your observations about your media use to specific media literacy and mass communication theory and research that you read about in the course text and in our first class, so use the links provided here to help you frame your thoughts. Consult at least four authoritative sources for the mass communication concepts that you discuss, and make sure their in-text citations and end-of-text references reflect AP rules, which can be found here.
