There is a SUB-FOLDER that is called “NUFF SAID”. In there are a collection of comics from Marvel.
They are all ‘SILENT” meaning that there is no SPOKEN dialogue.
You will pick a comic then choose five pages and retro-engineer
a comics script. Describe what is happening on each page and
in each panel until you’ve done that for five pages.
There is a script called THE BREAKS in your folder that is an example of a comics script.

Core books: An Introduction to Political Communication
Book by Brian McNair 2017 6th edition
Overview
7-9 pages, double-spaced, excluding references page
APA citation format
Minimum source requirements:
3 class sources (peer-reviewed scholarly readings from class)
3 outside secondary sources (peer-reviewed scholarly articles not from class readings)
3 institutional primary sources institution/organization profile sources (assets of the producers of the 2 global media you are comparing, e.g. annual reports, websites, government reports)
180 and 300 minutes of reviewing media texts for comparative analysis and exemplification of your main argument (content analyzed varies from topic to topic; see GSI)
Instructions
For the final paper, students will develop their proposals into a comparative analysis of regional/national media. For example, one might compare specific content (e.g. US’s Washington Post, Israel’s Haaretz coverage of Covid-19), media policies (Chinese vs. Saudi media regulations) or a genre (satire, romantic comedies, etc.) that operate in a transnational context.
Writers will use secondary and primary sources (see definitions in Addendum 1).
Secondary research from scholars will provide background information for the reader. Writers will make their own comparative analysis with primary research.
Primary sources for comparative analysis are often two types:
1. Institutional/organizational: e.g. major corporations, government agencies, advertising firms, and related revenue figures, government policy documents, media imports/export numbers, etc.
2. content analysis of media texts (media examples): e.g. themes in national advertising campaigns, film adaptations, the role of gender in two similar shows, how news organizations cover a topic, etc.
The paper should touch on both types of analysis, but the writer may choose which type (Institutional vs. content analysis) for the focus of the paper. You should aim to inform the reader on relevant media system context. A comparative paper on The Simpsons adaptation in Saudi Arabia, for example, would likely note the changes introduced to the show in light of the religious sensibilities of Arabic audiences.
Paper Organization and Structure
The paper will have roughly four main sections, though there is flexibility in how writers structure the paper. All page numbers suggestions are approximate and will shrink or grow as you focus on elements of your comparison.
1. Introduction (1-2 pgs.)
Introduce the media outlets/programs/content you will be comparing and which aspects you will be comparing. For example, you could compare similar news shows, reality TV, children’s programs, documentaries, etc. in two countries. Your “cases” should be comparable in as many ways as possible (similar genre, similar audience, similar medium) so that any differences you find can be linked to the regional media system in which they function. Justify the comparison in relation to globalization theories (what general questions does this case study comparison contribute to?). Explain how you will investigate your question (what methods and primary sources will you be using?).
2. Media organization/programming profiles (2-4 pgs.)
2a. Drawing on relevant course readings and additional secondary and primary sources, situate your media organizations in their national/regional context. For example, if you were comparing Al Jazeera and CNN, you would would be smart to provide some information on the contrasting free speech laws in Arab and western media systems. Focus your reader’s attention on the most important elements for your comparison.
2b. Provide specific background on the media organizations related to your topic (e.g. TV Globo, Gibli Studios, a particular telenovela or set of Bollywood films). Fruitful information for this section may include the following elements: historical background, ownership, funding, audience, and mission statement of an organization.
3. Content (text/image/format) analysis (2-4 pgs.)
3a. Draw a sample of “texts” from each media outlet/program. A good way to evaluate if you have enough primary source material (media texts for content analysis) is to ask if the evidence you have gathered makes a compelling case for a fuller investigation.
3b. Conduct a close reading of these texts to draw out similarities/differences of the “output” of the media outlets/programs/genre you are investigating.
3c. Support your interpretations with evidence (quoted passages, captured images, statistics – e.g., numbers of times in which certain themes, frames, characterizations, images appear in each sample).
4. Conclusion (1-2 pgs.)
Summarize what you have learned from this study. Link your findings to globalization theories and concepts. Reflect on the research process: what worked well? What might you do differently next time? What kinds of future research might extend or qualify this study?
Provide a APA citation and bibliography listing all primary and secondary source materials.

Addendum 1: definition of sources
Secondary sources may include (but are not limited to):
• articles in scholarly journals such as European Journal of Communication; Media, Culture & Society; Gazette; Press/Politics; New Media and Society, International Journal of Communication, International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics, etc.;
• scholarly books written by academics or other experts about the organization, including biographies or organizational histories;
• journalism/media professional reviews such as Columbia Journalism Review, etc.;
• articles in major business newspapers, business magazines, or general newspapers with business sections (e.g., BusinessWeek, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times business section, etc.) – but no matter how many of this type of article you use, they will only count as one secondary source, and you will have to use at least one additional secondary source from the first three categories.
Primary sources may include (but are not limited to):
• Hoover’s company reports, Corporate annual reports, financial filings, etc.;
• Articles in relevant trade publications such as Ad Age, Editor & Publisher, Strategies (French), Variety, etc.;
• Reports of the World Association of Newspapers, Harvard’s Nieman Lab, Pew Research Center, etc.;
• Government or Industry Trade Group or International Regulatory Agency (UN, OECD, WTO, etc.) reports;
• Memoirs or autobiographies by managers or creative professionals working at the organization;
• Interviews conducted by you (provide notes or transcriipt).
• Television, print, images, films that provide the content for analysis
Addendum 2: Media Texts as primary source?
There is flexibility in the number of media texts. Students examine different types of media (films vs. music videos vs. TV shows). Writers should aim to provide enough primary source evidence to show your reader a compelling comparative observation. Some comparative observations need many texts to substantiate a claim. Some fewer. For stronger papers, plan to spend between 180 and 300 minutes reviewing the media texts and composing your analysis.
Here are some examples of media text analysis and number of texts.
A writer comparing Brazilian and American telenovelas would watch and analyze 6 episodes (30 minutes each), 3 from Brazil and 3 from the U.S.
A writer studying two full length movies would devote a total of about 3 hours of viewing time and 1 or 2 for analysis. Two films in this case would be enough.
A writer examining news would devote more time to analysis of coverage from two news outlets reporting on a similar topic (6 or more news pieces)
Do not worry about the class sources; please write the essay without them, and I will add them later. Attached is the rubric for the essay. Thank you, and good luck! (Let me know if you need anything from me or run into any problems)
Please download Adobe illustrator 2024 for this assignment. I will provide the prompt and examples on how to it should look like.
In addition, identify any potential biases or pre-existing opinion issues you may have on the issue as you observe and evaluate your own analysis of these articles. Throughout the journaling periods, this exercise also focuses on identifying and recognizing your own patterns, trends, and habits related to media consumption. Determining whether or not the article is biased is not the only consideration. Thus, deliberate thought and introspection, along with consistency, are essential to this process.
Formulate a question pertaining to the news story you saw or read. What intellectual curiosity has this news article sparked in you?
You are tasked with developing a written Research Prospectus and giving an in-class PowerPoint presentation on your prospectus based on your previously approved communications-related topic. This is the culminating (final) assignment for the course. Your work should be formatted according to APA guidelines. Your work should also be double-spaced, 12 point font, Calibri typestyle.) In addition to the components listed below, a cover page and an abstract are required along with a Works Cited page at the end of your work and in-text citations throughout your work.
A literary review on the topic has already been done, it just needs reformatted with the proper components listed below… the topic covers social media’s effect on the music industry + musician-audience relations! Sources and annotated bibliography have been provided as well.
Required Components: Introduction—Tell readers about your topic. What are interesting facts that make your topic unique and worthy of research? This section should end with a compelling research purpose statement (thesis). Citations from research centers such as Pew, periodical articles (newspapers and magazines—online and traditional), books, credible websites etc. can be cited in this section. This section should also introduce the significance of your study. (1-1 1/2pages)
Literature Review—This section of your paper should be a synthesis of the scholarly articles identified earlier in the semester for your annotated bibliography. Organize by subtopic and discuss the articles in relation to the findings (either similarities or differences) among the articles. Please note that additional articles beyond the 10 identified for the annotated bibliography can be reviewed, cited, and incorporated into this section of your work. (3-4 pages inclusive of the Theoretical Framework and Research Questions)
Theoretical Framework—The presentation of your theoretical framework should be the last section of your literature review. What theory supports the study you are proposing? What does the theory state? How is it connected to the study of your topic? Consider theories that have been explored/cited in the scholarly articles you’ve reviewed about the topic. Be sure to cite articles as appropriate. End this section with the presentation of your research questions:
Research Questions—What questions will guide your study? These are also the questions that you are aiming to answer through your study. I recommend at least two research questions. Methods—In your Methods section, you should describe in detail the selected data collection process you have chosen, and how you plan to collect the data. This constitutes your methodology. It is in this section that you identify whether you plan to use a qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods approach, and based on that approach, what type of process you will use to collect the data and conduct the study. Your methodology choice should also be supported with citations to articles that have successfully used a similar methodology. (1-1 1/2 pages)
Conclusion—Because you will not have an opportunity to conduct your study, this section should focus on the implications that you anticipate your study having. For example, what can readers expect to learn from a completed study? What will your study contribute new to the existing body of knowledge on your selected topic? What would be limitations to your study? What are opportunities for future research? (1- 1 1/2pages)
What are your perceptions of Asian mobile subjects (i.e., temporary and/or permanent migrants) and have these perceptions changed during this course so far? Choose one receiver country to focus your discussion.
The assignment is to put your brain into action with a defensible proposition of should the U.S. government require TikTok not have Chinese ownership, what company should step up and buy them?
Why? That is the most important part. Is the company doubling down? Adding a missing social layer? Targeting new demos? Wanting an adjacency to the music industry? There are a million ways to analyze this and see potential fits. Dig in.
For the sake of color when you consider the acquisition, Musk bought Twitter for $44B, and Meta bought IG for $16B. A student asked last night how much TikTok could sell for, and this is from the Washington Post. TikTok, one of the world’s most popular apps, would probably sell for more than $100 billion, according to one financial analyst’s estimate. And that may be low: TikTok made $16 billion in sales in the United States last year, the Financial Times reported (https://www.ft.com/content/275bd036-8bc2-4308-a5c9-d288325b91a9) — a revenue figure that could value the company at up to $150 billion.
Dig in on your subject company. Know their building blocks (see attached deck for building block term reference).
Then write a piece. Cite your sources at the end.
