media reserch paper

In Sequence One, you developed a variety of academic writing skills as you undertook critical explorations of appropriation and influence in literature. In Sequence Two, you will explore the media’s influence on your own opinions and on a broader cultural scale. Using Patricia Bizzell’s “Hybrid Academic Discourses” and James Fallows’s “Learning to Love the (Shallow, Divisive, Unreliable) New Media” as our inspiration and foundation, the method for undertaking this exploration will be a hybrid discourse research paper.

this topic is purposefully broad so that you can explore a line of inquiry that has stakes for you.Although this research paper should be academic in tone, you should incorporate at least one element of hybrid academic discourse.
