Write a paper providing a critical look at the coverage of a social problem in the news media. This paper should include a combination of academic and other sources that analyze the coverage of the issue, and examples of such coverage that the student will collect in the course of the semester. Examples may come from newspapers, magazines, TV, and radio—preferably a combination of sources. Newspapers and magazines can be accessed online through the Cannon Memorial Library (see information about the library in this syllabus).In the paper, students are to provide a clear definition of the social problem at stake, present an analysis of the media coverage based on outside sources, and support it with examples they have collected themselves, and link all this to the course material to present a sociological perspective of the impact of the media on how we perceive and address the social problem at stake. It is important that you present a balanced review of the problem, based on research and facts, not personal opinions.
