Journal entries must apply and reference the week’s assigned readings/course material. Where concepts come from readings, the reading should be cited, not the lecture videos.

The word count for each Journal entry is 400-450 words (this does not include references/works cited list).
Completion, Assessment and Marking
Journal entries should have an introduction, a body and a conclusion. The introduction should give the reader an idea of what points you will argue in relation to course content or key terms from the Module.
The writing style should adhere to best writing practices – please spell check, grammar check and proofread – and reference the authors/readings that you are drawing from. Opinions are fine, but must be informed by course material – even if you disagree!
Author attribution is required when using their ideas or directly quoting from them. Please write using the MLA referencing style. Visit the The Libary’s website for resources on MLA.
You are welcome to be creative in your approach at maximising words by embedding visual examples that support your claims. In order to include images in your Journal entry, you need to save these on your computer first and then add them by using the + sign from the menu at the top of your Journal entry.
If you are embedding links that is fine but do not paste entire URLs in the middle of the Journal entry, these can go in the list of works cited instead.
Your Journal entries will be marked using the following seven broad criteria:

Select one of the following speeches below. Using outside research, in-class notes, and media examples, develop an argument discussing the significance of these speeches within the changes to the medium of television throughout its history. In raising this argument, develop an analysis with visual and historical evidence about how the speech’s main ideas contributed to and demonstrated the industrial shifts and commercial trends of television that we’ve studied. This argument should cite the course readings to support its analysis and incorporate at least oneclose textual analysis of TV programming. Students are encouraged to cite examples of television programming from outside the course only if it supports their argument.

Select one of the following cable channels: TBS, HBO, CNN, BET MTV, and Bravo. Conduct some research to answer the following questions: How can we look at the development of this cable channel to understand how the politics of the mass audience changed in the late 1970s and 1980s? What is the origin of this cable channel? Who or what companies founded it? Based on our studies of network television, how did this channel attempt to re-imagine the concept of television and its mass audience? How did this emergent channel advertise itself to new audiences? How did the channel use advertising (commercials, magazine spreads, etc) to develop this new audience demographic? What type of programming dominated the channel in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s? What can we learn about changing ideas about audience demographics and the representation of social identities through these programming shifts?
Use two outside reliable sources

I will attach 2 previous papers and final instructions. Please follow the final instructions completely as the second paper omitted media names and did not include enough sources. If you have any questions please let me know. The 2 paragraphs that I must read and post to YouTube should be on a separate paper and I, of course, will take care of that part. Thanks so much!

You are required to write a one-page typed research
paper discussing future trends within the broadcasting industry. The paper
should address how these trends will affect students as well as community
colleges and universities that prepare students to enter the broadcasting
industry. Be sure to cite your reference using documentation. The paper will
be graded using a rubric provided by the instructor. The purpose of this
assignment is to make you aware of new trends in the industry that will
ultimately affect you. The research paper is worth 10% of you total grade.

The importance of forming a team specialized in social media in the government sector and its benefits at the local and international levels for the sector

I want to cultivate a degree of media literacy in all students, including exercises that work across media. While film and television are typically at the forefront of media studies due to their economic size and ubiquity, my life and research have been much more focused on music, so I am better prepared to guide your work in music media texts. With that in mind, I want everyone to write a review of a popular music album released in the past 12 months. Popular can be defined here as being on the Billboard 100 Charts at any time over the past year.

As with the movie review, I expect everyone to utilize at least three concepts we went over in class and in the readings to inform your review, with references to authors. Although APA citation is not required, it is good practice for your final paper. I also expect everyone to make references to specific parts of songs rather than surface-level commentary on the album in its entirety. If you do not know the musical nomenclature (hook, bridge, intro, verses, etc.), feel free to use time stamps to convey your points.
This paper should not exceed 3 pages (12 point font, Times New Roman, double-spaced) in length. This will be flexible for this assignment based on the format of your paper – if you choose to critique each song individually in a list format, it will inevitably take up more space to write. That being said, if you choose to do a list format, you should still write complete sentences, not bullet points.

What is meant by “new ethnicity”? How and when are new ethnicities formed?
Why is performing the lion dance significant for Chinese-Canadians in Newfoundland? Why is it significant for spectators?
How are dances like the lion dance “markers” of culture?
Consider Victor Turner’s suggestions that “all senses, including vision, taste, smell, and touch, are employed in cultural performances to communicate the content of culture” (Turner 1981, 158). Describe an example of either a festival, community or family event you have attended that activates all senses. How does dance contribute to communicating the content of culture on a sensory level?
