Media Text Critical Analysis

8 weeks · 0 milestones

Produce a formal critical analysis of a specific named media text — a news article, broadcast segment, advertising campaign, or social media phenomenon (named and dateable). Apply a named theoretical framework throughout: framing analysis, semiotics, discourse analysis, encoding/decoding, or equivalent. Cite the theoretical framework's primary or key secondary sources. Proof is the written analysis plus a documented review by a media studies or communications academic who challenges your framework application — specifically, whether you are applying the framework correctly and what a different framework would reveal that yours misses. Your written response to both challenges is a required part of the proof.
