Assignment 4: Make up and answer your own essay questions

Assignment No. 4 – Essay Questions
Mass Media and Society

Come up with two essay questions you think might be on the test and then answer them as completely as you can. So your homework will have two essay questions followed by two complete essay answers.

NOTE: Make sure that your questions are NOT fill-in-the-blank questions or one-sentence-answer questions. Essay questions and should be multi-dimensional; they should provide an opportunity for reflection, exploration and depth. The answers should be at least one fully developed paragraph that looks at all aspects of a topic and provide specific examples.

An example of an essay question follows. (Obviously, you can’t use this example question for your assignment.)

Sample question: The textbook discusses several specific examples of how media generate revenue. Identify and explain in detail two different revenue streams, including how they work and if they are still viable in today’s media world. Also, reflect on the importance of economics in media. In what way do economics impact content?
