Description:
3,500-4,500 words MLA format Your term paper must refer to course materials and course readings, but you are also expected to do further research. Use relevant journal articles and books in making your critical analysis. Make use of at least 3 to 4 course readings, and 2 to 3 external sources (that is, critical, peer-reviewed academic articles or books). You may also use other sources such as websites, news and current-affairs sources, blogs, and so on. In The Image, Daniel Boorstin argues that our contemporary media environment is riddled with pseudo-events. Monitor the news to identify a pseudo-event—an event with the specific purpose of generating attention. A pseudo-event can take many forms, but generally has four characteristics: event, coverage, rationale, reaction. Explain, and use these four factors to organize your paper.
