Write about the American news media–specifically, political and national news media.
Select several major television and/or print media outlets in the United States. (You may choose to look at CNN and Fox News, for instance and/or the New York Times and Washington Post, the Washington Examiner and Politico, among others.)
Research their corporate ownership, ideology, expected audience, and their notable writers, anchors, reporters and commentators and any political leanings you observe. Share your findings. Be specific.
Explain the reputation of the news entities you selected historically, compared to today.
Describe the unique qualities of each major outlet you have selected and what distinguishes them from one another (or, in some cases, how they are similar to and mirror one another). Compare and contrast.
Next, cover the following:
What role is the national news media playing in the presidential election of 2020?
Provide several recent examples of significant political events and happenings, of the past few weeks, and how they have been covered by the media.
With these 2020 election events, do you see differences in coverage and frequency of coverage among the news outlets you have selected for this assignment? Is coverage unbiased or slanted in one direction? Explain.
After conducting your research, do you believe that there exists a media class or a “media elite” in America? What does this mean, and why or why not? What are “framing, “priming,” and policy agenda-setting? Explain what each of these terms means, including examples when helpful.
Then, briefly mention how technology and new media fit into the picture: What purposes does news available on the internet serve? Is access to new media sources important to a nation’s citizens? Why?
Finally, in your concluding thoughts, include: What are the main things you learned from your research–especially about media coverage of the upcoming election–for this assignment?
