Give your assessment of the appropriate role of the media in communicating information about your issue, and your evaluation of how well the media fulfill the role you define for them.

Final Summary and Assessment In this paper you should present an overall summary and assessment of the media coverage you consumed during the four weeks. Your assessment should reflect a critical understanding of the media as discussed in the course, for example, the profit motive of corporate media and its role in maintaining or re-inscribing capitalist realism. As part of your assessment, include the following: 1) Identify the overarching narrative in the coverage of the issue that you followed. What is the underlying common sense in the way this issue is reported? Did this vary in alternative media outlets? If you found counter-narratives or views that challenged the dominant common sense, discuss those too. Use specific references and quotes to illustrate. 2) Give your assessment of the appropriate role of the media in communicating information about your issue, and your evaluation of how well the media fulfill the role you define for them. 3) Compare your position(s) on this issue now with the understanding of the issue you articulated in the initial justification paper. Has your own understanding of the issue changed based on exposure to various media sources? This paper should be written like a standard college essay, edited for errors and polished before submitting. Follow MLA or APA citation conventions for all sources cited in your work (take care that both in-text references and end references/bibliography are formatted correctly).
