The following films or HBO series are excellent dramatic depictions of issues relevant to journalism and the press in America.

You will watch any of one of the features listed and identify an issue illustrated in the film.
Discuss what you learned about media watching a film. Think of creating a five paragraph, 500 or so word journal entry. Because this is not an academic essay but a journal, you are encouraged to reflect on your previous thoughts about the media and what you learned watching the film and to connect that to course content.

However, only focusing on your emotions and detailing the plot of the movie will bring down your score on this assignment. Strive to introduce the film and what it is about but then move on to discussing a complex issue or issues that the feature depicts about media in the U.S.

Briefly describe the event or incident that is the focus of your study

/in /by

Remember to focus on the behaviour of media professionals with regard to the issue you have chosen, and on the ethical debates given rise to in the media coverage of that issue, and not the issue itself. For example, if you are looking at the News of the World phone hacking scandal you need to describe and comment on the journalists involved and the ethical rules they may have violated.

Concentrate on the ethical issues involved. For example, regarding the issue you have chosen, did the journalist/advertiser/photographer/PR practitioner (or media company/publisher etc.) concerned behave ethically? If not what ethical rules did they infringe; what were the ethical principles at issue? What debates in Media Ethics are relevant to your chosen case study?
Avoid going into the broader issue behind the case study that you are describing.
Use a structure something like this:

– Introduction – briefly describe the event or incident that is the focus of your study
– Background – provide a detailed account of the event and relevant antecedents and outcomes; include samples from the media texts or images that you are concerned with
– Ethical principles and concepts – describe the ethical issues involved, refer to the relevant professional code of ethics and to Media Ethics (including, where appropriate, the philosophical ethics underpinning Media Ethics)
– Analysis – comment on whether you think the media professionals involved acted ethically or unethical, referring to the relevant ethical principles
– Conclusion – sum up your findings; what are the lessons that can be learned from your case study?
– Bibliography – list all your sources
