Sexual Harassment in Hollywood (Women)

Guidelines for Media Analysis:
“Double spaced” MLA
The purpose of the Media Analysis Paper is to develop your information literacy and your gender analytical skills by looking at how the media treats issues of gender since Donald Trump became president. The time frame is from January 21, 2017 to today.
Exploring gender-related topics: To explore gender-related topics develop search terms such as women’s reproductive rights, immigrant rights, healthcare reform, sexual harassment, the First Lady, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Bill O’Reilly, domestic violence, etc. These are just examples. You should come up with your own search terms. After you have come down with a list of search terms of at least five, but can be more, do electronic searches using these search terms to find out more about these topics. Google, news.google.com and Twitter are useful starting points.
Finding your sources: Develop a list of ten news outlets from a variety of different media (social media, newspapers, blogs, websites of TV channels like CNN, Fox News, Democracy Now, The Real News etc.). Classify the news outlets. Are they private media corporations, non-profit news outlets, social media? Are they left or right wing? Draw a table to visualize your findings and include it in your paper. Select three different types of media for your paper from this list, for example, a TV news show, online news, a blog AND select one topic from the list of search terms.
Gather a sample of news items on the selected topic that you will analyze (at least 3 for each media type) for each type of media. Try to select news items from different types of news outlets that have different political stands. Read and classify your news items: Are they opinion pieces? Blogs? News articles, or featured articles that analyze a topic at length? A popular show? A controversial show? (Opinion pieces can be letters to the editor, op-eds, columns, or editorials. News pieces are straightforward articles and shows which report on the latest events in the world. Feature stories are usually more in-depth pieces, sometimes lighter pieces, and often profile stories) Draw a second table that describes your selected news items and include it in your paper
Take notes of where each story ran in the newspaper or magazine, TV channels and websites. Observe if a story ran on the front page, the national, international, business, or metro section, or if it was published in the lifestyles, arts, sports, or a special section. Then immerse yourself in the news items. Determine how stories are framed, the sources of information they provided, the underlying messages, the gender biases, the political motivation, their ethical commitments, their ideas of gender (in)justice and service to the public. Determine and explain how the articles promote a progressive, feminist, or a conservative political agenda or how it affects women and men.
Write a six-page essay, which describes your research process and your major findings. Use academic conventions using MLA or APA formats.
