Your final assessment invites you to explore a theme/topic from the second half of the quarter through the analysis of a peer-reviewed journal article. You will begin by identifying a broad theme/topic that interests you – such as media representations of masculinity or media research on violent video games – and then you will conduct an online database search for an article published in 2018-20 so that you can familiarize yourself with current scholarship on that topic. After carefully reading the article, you will analyze its major findings using the questions below, which includes connecting the article to (3) selected terms from the course (one of those terms can be the broad theme/topic that drew you to the article). You have a full week to complete this assignment, so please plan your schedules accordingly, as we will not accept late submissions.
Suggested Steps/Process:
Chapter 5: Media Organizations & Professionals
Chapter 6: Media & Ideology
Chapter 7: Social Inequality & Media Representation
Chapter 8: Audiences and Creators
Chapter 9: Media Influence
Chapter 10: Globalization and the Future of Media
Example broad themes/topics: journalism and objectivity; masculinity and media representations; global flows of Hollywood filmmaking; audience decoding and (insert text or genre here); the role of social media in (insert social movement here), etc. Please reach out to us if you have questions or if you need some guidance choosing your broad theme/topic!
Searching for a peer-reviewed journal article: The best way to locate a journal article using University of Denver online resources is to start by visiting the DU Libraries homepage (library.du.edu) and then using the Databases search tool, below the Compass tool. Once you click on “Databases” you can narrow your search by selecting “Journalism/Media Studies” from the “Subject” drop-down tool on the left-hand side of the page. The best two databases to use are (1) Academic Search Complete; and (2) Communication & Mass Media Complete. Draw on course concepts (?? Use your 3 selected concepts??) for your search terms, and please reach out to us if you have any questions.
Resources: The following video is a DU Library 101 video; you can skip to 33:30 to see how to navigate database searches to find journal articles:
