The topic treatment by five different international and/or foreign media sources accessible in English and accessible
electronically via the Web. Analyse written. You are limited to one publication from an Australian source and one publication from a US
source.
Sources
You should ensure the five sources are reasonably contemporaenous (at least the same year!), and diverse in terms of
type and origin: they should not all come from similar networks or the same country. They can include:
? an international media agency or transnational news network report (e.g. Reuters, AP, AFP, AAP, CNN, AlJazeera, France-24, BBC World);
? a major public national or local media source;
? a major privately-run national or local media source;
? an independent media report or opinion piece or blog (e.g. indymedia, Crikey, Huffington Post);
? an NGO news or opinion/blog source;
? institutional reports, commentaries or blogs (i.e. government report, international institution report);
Analysis
Your goal is to report on what is framed
as newsworthy in relation to your topic, and by whom (and where). In completing this task, you should discuss:
? what different types of information and commentary are put forward by the different sources: do different media
foreground different aspects? what is left out? is the information supplied verifiable?
? the language used (style, vocabulary, emotive or otherwise, rhetorical devices used, and so on)
? interaction between language and (audio)visuals: webpage layout, photographs and so on, images shown in AV
documents.
