Canadian Popular Culture. SSC 212G
Mass Media Assignment
Weighted – 10 % of your Final Grade
Due: February 20, 2022

The focus of this assignment is to: Consider the Source.

Research shows that an alarming number of Canadians get their news by reading headlines on
social media platforms. And they never look beyond that one posted sentence, never consider
where it came from or never read the actual article. They just automatically believe it to be true.
This is dangerous. Especially at a time when some of our news sources are admittedly
politically driven and one-sided. In addition, there are a number of headlines that are completely
false and made up and shared by millions on social media, in our ‘fake news’ era.

Assignment Details – Media Source Selection
Your job is to analyze coverage of the same current news event (from the last two years) from
two different media sources. By ‘different,’ I mean different in different in political or contextual
approach (for example: CNN coverage vs Fox News coverage)

Here are some links that may help you with selecting and analyzing your chosen media source.
Media Bias Chart –
Media Bias in Canada – includes a video explaining the above chart and directly references Canadian media sources –
***Your media sources must be North American (you are not limited to just Canadian).***
For the best assignment results, try to select two news sources that are not close to one another on the Media Bias chart (politically or contextually opposed).

Assignment Details

In your submitted assignment, please format it as listed below.
The format of your assignment should include: an Introductory paragraph, First Source Coverage summary, Second Source Coverage summary, and a Comparison and Analysis paragraph(s). Each of these three sections should have a bolded and underlined subtitle – Introduction, First Source Coverage, Second Source Coverage, and Comparison and Analysis.

In your Introduction section – in a paragraph, begin by very briefly summarizing the news
event and identifying the two media sources that you analyzed.

In First Source Coverage section – in a paragraph(s), summarize and describe the coverage by
one of your media sources. Consider what was included (interviews, images used, different
perspectives), the main focus (personal accounts, political or national implications,
calls to action) and the length of the coverage (in-depth/long or short/brief).

In Second Source Coverage section – in a paragraph(s), you will summarize and describe your
second media source, just like you did in the first source coverage section above.

In the Comparison and Analysis section, in a paragraph(s) compare and contrast the coverage
by your two different sources. This is the part that is weighted heaviest, and where you are
expected to use critical thought. Consider any of the following prompts in your analysis….
• Is the truth/facts evident in both sources?
• Did the sources have contrasting messages?
• How prevalent is any political or personal bias in either source? Is this achieved through what was focused on?
• Is the unique way that the event was covered intended to illicit an emotional reaction from the viewer?
• Were important facts excluded from either source?
• How does the everyday viewer determine bias, if they only get their news from one source?

Students will be asked to read two primary sources per chapter from the supplemental primary reader American Yawp that will be selected by the instructor and listed under the link for each of the assignments. Students will be expected to address questions about the documents. The questions will be consistent each week. However, students will need to thoroughly address the questions based on reading the documents. The answers to the questions will determine students understanding of the content. Students will receive a zero for work that is copy and pasted, plagiarized, as well as shared with classmates, or other students. Each chapter primary document analysis exercise is worth 10 points. There are 17 chapters for which students will be expected to complete the document analysis. With the points for each of the document analyses compiled, students can earn a total of 170 points for this assignment by the close of the term. Given that students can earn over 100 points for completing all 17 primary source analyses, it offers the opportunity for students to earn extra credit and/or miss a few without their overall grades suffering. Below are the questions that students must address in complete sentence format for each of the primary sources. Please understand that when this assignment is completed that the two primary sources are being addressed for the first six questions. For the remaining questions, the two sources are being compared. Please note under each question being addressed (for the first six answers) which source is being addressed. 1. Content- What is the main idea? Describe in detail the main points offered. This answer should include points in multiple sentences. Former students have copied content from the introduction of the documents or gave one sentence answers that did not display a reading of the actual primary source. Please be mindful not to make those mistakes. 2. Citation- When was this created? Do not use the date from the source given after the document. A number of documents were selected from secondary and tertiary sources. 3. Context- What is going on in the world, the country, the region, or the locality when this was created? (Please read the main textbook first in order to understand what is happening at this time. Please note the timeframe that is relevant to the writing of this document. Events that contributed to this document should be noted. For example, if this is a reaction to a historic event, then that should be noted.) 4. Who is the author or creator? (Sometimes, the speaker is not the physical writer but is being interviewed. Please note the voice of the persons speaking in the source and who may have contributed to the creation of the work. Please do not confuse the source provided after the document as the actual author. Some of the documents were taken from secondary and tertiary sources.) 5. What biases or assumptions may have influenced the author or creator? 6. Who was the intended audience? *Half-points will be deducted for missed questions. One-quarter to one half of a point will be deducted for grammar errors, depending on the number. Please provide answers to all of the first six questions for both documents. 7. Are there similarities in the selected documents point of view? 8. What are the similarities? 9. Are the authors offering counterpoints to one another? 10. In what ways do they disagree? Please do not include questions just the number of the question.
