Utilize the Nexis Uni Plus database available at the Lakehead University Library to access a wide range of news articles.
2. Topic Selection and Analysis: Choose a recent social movement or protest (e.g., Black Lives Matter, #MeToo) and analyze how it has been portrayed by the media. Select 2-3 articles on the same issue/topic from different news media sources. Conduct a close reading of the articles, focusing on the language used, dominant narratives, portrayal of activists and their demands, and how the issue has been constructed over time. Utilize your sociological imagination to connect the issue to sociological concepts covered in our course materials and your own experiences.
3. Paper Guidelines: Write a media report in a short paper format, approximately 1200 words or about 4-5 pages. Your paper should examine the media’s framing of the movement, analyze the impact of media framing on the sociological imagination and public perception of the social movement, and connect the analysis to relevant sociological concepts from our text. Remember to provide a References page using ASA format, listing each news article selected with the title, publication date, author, and web link.
