A literature review demands careful consideration of the key texts in a particular sub-field. For this assignment, students will write a literature review that offers an account of their chosen sub-field.
The goal is not only to summarize the contributions of each source to the sub-field, but to place different authors in dialogue with each other. By relating texts in this way, you should be able to identify the strengths and weaknesses within the existing literature. Elements in a literature review might include: major debates or controversies in your sub-field; key findings that have shaped the area; typical research methods used; formative theoretical frameworks; and recent research trends. Throughout this assignment, work to position yourself as a scholar and/or set up the context for your own thesis topic and research questions.
In order to get you to start thinking about your paper and to sift through the literature on your topic, you will create an outline of your final paper. Your outline should include full sentences that provide the main idea for each section of your paper. Please see the specifics below. Do not forget to attach an APA style title page and reference list.
Please use the Annotated Bibliography to finish this assignment. Please note: the annotated bibliography lists a set of sources in alphabetical order – so please re-organize each source to finish the outline and come up with an argument

III. Analysis/Recommendations
1) At the end of literature review, present a summary that articulates the main argument from each section. Follow this statement about what we know with a presentation of what we do not know.
2) Critique shortcomings of the studies, if any.
3) Provide an analysis of the research you have just presented: what are the key themes that emerge? What would you tell someone about this topic? What are the implications of the research for communication professionals who work in this topic area?
4) What would you recommend to these professionals? You may want to consider how larger trends in digital communication interact with these findings (think the larger topics we covered in the first half of class: digital divide, usability, credibility, demographics related to use). Make sure you provide clear, specific recommendations.
IV. Conclusion: Write one-sentence summarizing what we know about your topic based on the literature.
