Between now and January 19, pick a day where you will track your media consumption for one twelve hour period (or a waking day, whichever you prefer). Make a list of TV programs, books, recorded music, web pages, advertisements, magazines you consume, etc. Please note when the media messages contain commercial content; this can be helpful information as we develop a picture of what kind of stories we are taking in.
Shoot for publishing your media log by the 19th. We will not meet on this day, so enjoy your Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. If you would prefer not to publish your media log to your blog, you can e-mail it to me over our class Blackboard page.
The second assignment, the 5 questions assignment, can be published to your blog anytime that following week. The instructions are listed below. You can also find information on all of the semester's assignments on the Comm 1500 Blackboard site. Enjoy.
Select any media message from TV, radio, video games, recorded music, the web, etc. and apply our 5 key questions (from the first weeks of class) to that message. Answer each of the five questions after giving each careful consideration and backing your answers up with outside quotes, statistics, etc. where appropriate.
