    • Preparation
    • Interest in / knowledge of topic
    • Analysis / knowledge of audience
    • Ethics

    5) What are five items that you have learned in this course that will make you a better speaker?

    Here are some examples:

    • Advance preparation is very important.

    • I will prepare my introduction in such a way as to get the audience’s attention.
    • I want my conclusion to have a residual effect (this is what an audience will most likely remember).
    • The use of concrete words is preferable over generic words — I know it is best to use words that will “paint a picture” with the audience.

    Once you have received topic approval, based on the research proposal you submitted, please post on the discussion forum your approved topic along with a few sentences explaining your research.

    The final research paper is an 8- to 10-page paper providing a detailed analysis and examination of an issue in digital journalism as it relates to an established podcast. The digital journalism issue may be drawn from course readings or other sources. The paper should include a significant research question you plan to answer, the method you employed for analyzing the issue, a literature review, a critical analysis of the issue, your conclusions and suggestions for future study. Use APA style of citation throughout.

    Note: One of the objectives of research in general as well as this research paper is to develop new knowledge. There are multiple ways to achieve this; e.g., a creative synthesis and/or original critical analysis of findings from earlier studies. Another way to generate new knowledge is by conducting surveys — formal or informal surveys — or interviews or, for example, conducting a comparative study of two digital journalism sources/media platforms in how they cover a specific set of stories. Both surveys, interviews and comparative studies appropriate to your research create new information and lead to new knowledge relevant to your research question.

    Organizational structure should include:

    1. Introduction of the topic and/or brief overview (I.e., why is this area worthy of a research study?)
    2. Research question (See link below.)
    3. Historical antecedents of the digital journalism issue (I.e., literature review)
    4. Research method (I.e., what did you do in your study?)
    5. Results (If you conducted a survey or interviews, this section reports your findings)
    6. Critical analysis/Discussion
    7. Conclusions
    8. Suggestions for future research

    I recommend you consider using headings/titles for above sections that apply to your specific study. Be sure to include a well-written and specific research question in the study, however. See the link below for additional information on writing a research question.

  • Break an Ageist Commercial – Article/Opinion Editorial

  • Identify a commercial or media program that you consider ageist. Write an Opinion Editorial about it for an industry publication.
  • Determine the target market for the advertisement and intended message. Was it an effective advertisement for that market segment? Reference information from text and class discussion.
  • BREAK the program:

    • Analyze why it is ageist ethical/offensive/microaggression issues?

    Defend your conclusion with at least 3 substantiated facts or data.

    Determine how the piece could have been rewritten or produced not to be considered ageist – remember your audience is professionals in the field, so creative treatments are of particular interest to them.

    This is NOT a term paper – it is your analysis and critical thinking applied in a professional thought leadership exercise. Your opinion alone will not be sufficient for the publication of the article – you need to provide facts from research to support your conclusions, which requires a bibliography.

    Add visuals – a screen grab of the commercial for context, and then as you discuss how it could be reimagined, options include adding a revised storyboard, images to reflect revised casting, settings, etc.

    Refer to the PowerPoints and class lectures for instruction on how to write an opinion editorial.

    I have attached all the necessary resources for the Olay commercial I have chosen.
