The world limit is 1500 words. To start off with here is the essay brief : 1,500 word media source essay on the role of a type of media (TV, print, radio, internet etc) and how that
mediates sport to the public (40%)
You need to think about how sport/a sport is mediated through a particular format (tv programme, podcast, film, website, forum, twitter feed, sports journalist etc). Who is the producer? who are the intended audience? How popular is the source? How does the format compare to other media sources? How accurately does the source reflect the sport in question? You could also compare two different programmes/podcasts/ reports, or types of media. The sources and discussion in the seminar in week 3 will be helpful for this assessment
I would also like the essay written to the UK university standards of a first meaning the highest mark. In order for this to be achieved you will need to fulfil these points within your writing :
Compelling answer to the question, expertly supported by evidence
Comprehensive and precise knowledge of relevant topics and sources
Original and sophisticated understanding of relevant sources, theories, methods, and/or debates
Superb presentation, including elegant writing style, strong organisation, and flawless referencing
May achieve, or be close to, a publishable standard
This therefore means you must follow all the points in the essay brief. Making it an argumentative and evaluative essay as appose to a descriptive essay.
The referencing style should be one of the following :
A citation style is a system for formatting references, whether in the main text of an essay, in the footnotes, or in the bibliography. It covers such things as the order of information in the citation style, the length of the citation, and the use of capitalisation and italics.
A common style used in the humanities is known as the MHRA style, so-called because it is administered by the Modern Humanities Research Association, a scholarly association based in the UK. Below are some examples of citations formatted in the MHRA style.
A book:
Tom McArthur, Worlds of Reference: Lexicography, Learning and Language from the Clay Tablet to the Computer (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1986), p. 59.
A chapter in an edited book:
Martin Elsky, ‘Words, Things, and Names: Jonson’s Poetry and Philosophical Grammar’, in Classic and Cavalier: Essays on Jonson and the Sons of Ben, ed. by Claude J. Summers and Ted-Larry Pebworth (Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 1982), pp. 31–55 (p. 41).
A journal article:
Robert F. Cook, ‘Baudouin de Sebourc: un poème édifiant?’, Olifant, 14 (1989), 115–35 (pp. 118–19).
These examples are taken from the MHRA Style Guide, the third (2013) edition of which is available here. For a short summary of the guide, see pages 3 to 8. For more detail on referencing, see pages 58 to 82.
Another citation style often used by historians is the one in the Chicago Manual of Style, published by the University of Chicago Press and currently in its seventeenth edition. This style is subtly different from the MHRA style, as you can see by comparing these citations with the ones above:
Tom McArthur, Worlds of Reference: Lexicography, Learning and Language from the Clay Tablet to the Computer (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1986), 59.
Martin Elsky, “Words, Things, and Names: Jonson’s Poetry and Philosophical Grammar,” in Classic and Cavalier: Essays on Jonson and the Sons of Ben, ed. Claude J. Summers and Ted-Larry Pebworth (Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 1982), 41.
Robert F. Cook, “Baudouin de Sebourc: un poème édifiant?”, Olifant 14 (1989): 118–19.

compare other media outlets and do remember it is a history of sport so mention football, the rise of sky media as well as counter arguments suggesting the source doesn’t represent football in the best light etc
