ANNOUNCEMENTS: We have 83 percent compliance on the blog assignment -- seven more to go. When everyone has a blog, we will have a cookie party. Thanks to all those who have posted!
POWERPOINT: We reviewed key concepts from the textbook;
- Research methodology to measure media impacts (some borrowed from scientific research)
- Social science perspectives
- Flow theories
- How new innovations move through society.
HOMEWORK: Read and complete workbook activities for Chapter 3 (Books). Note: We will discuss workbook responses for Chapter 3 in class on Tuesday.
BLOG: After reading Chapter 2 on Media Impact, propose a media research project, based on what you learned in the chapter. You can research any aspect of how media impact people. E.g. Advertising, reality TV, movies, cartoons, magazine images, etc. Describe your project in 4-5 sentences, using some of the terminology from the textbooks’ margin notes. What are you researching? What methodology would you use? How would you test your hypothesis? What results do you predict?
