Instructions:
Collect at least 10 news articles (print or video) about a single topic of your choice that were all released in a 1-2 months period during the last year. Your news articles should come from different types of news media, must be from over at least a months time frame and less than two month’s time frame, and must be related to one specific event or topic. You will then engage in a qualitative research project by examining the content of your articles using the methods discussed in class. This should include an analysis of whether the content is positive or negative, the types of words/phrases used, the different sources of information (liberal or conservative), and other analysis techniques from the course.
There is no length requirement. Use your judgment. Don’t make it ramble or repetitive, but made it long enough to say something meaningful and interesting and to demonstrate that you have engaged with the material.
Show me that you understand the course topics and that you have really thought about how that plays out for one specific case.
Pick one criminal case or topic. Find 10 news sources about it all from within the short time frame of 1-2 months. You are comparing multiple sources from the same time period when they more or less had the same information in order to analyze how different sources address the same story.
Sample topics:
Crime trends in a particular city
A high profile police involved shooting case
A crime related legislative bill
The progress of a high profile murder case
If you select a topic that we address in the course, then you must you 10 sources other than the ones provided in the course material and I am going to expect a higher level of analysis since you already have the benefit of the class discussion.
