[SOLVED] First Paper

First Paper

Select a contemporary news story-something that has generated a significant amount of coverage in the recent past (the U.S. ban on TikTok, the resignation of Justin Trudeau, etc.). Find several different sources (different articles from different newspapers, different TV spots from different networks, etc.) and draw out what defining characteristics there are about the coverage according to the theoretical work we’ve covered so far in the course. In other words, use theories like Chomsky & Herman’s Propaganda Model, Stuart Hall’s work on race and difference, Stanley Cunningham’s work on business infiltration of media and/or others to analyze a public event that has generated a significant amount of coverage.

You do not have to go outside of the course readings for your theoretical sources but, naturally, I’ll want you to do a significant amount of digging through legitimate news sources when researching your event/story.
