"Suggested Student Assessment. Because the media framing analysis is a highly subjective process, students will be requested to defend their respective positions on a given news account in the form of an essay that will be assessed on the basis of how well it takes into account the various media framing structural dimensions in supporting its position."
"Extending the Lesson. When students identify an issue that is particularly interesting to them, they would refine and extend its concepts through a WebQuest approach that uses a free Web site account. WebQuests have become increasingly popular in recent years for this purpose, and these become a "work in progress" that students continue to contribute to as additional research is completed and more news accounts become available."

Abstract
This assignment discusses the media framing of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer and transgender movement based on 10 source articles. The paper then analyzes the content demonstrating that there is essentially negative and positive framing.
From the Paper
"Individuals with different sexual orientations or different sexual identities have often experienced discrimination and persecution in Western societies. For example, in 'Ideas for Action' Cynthia Kaufman states, Given the widespread and established nature of homophobia, it is not surprising that the most important demand for most gays and lesbians is simply for the right to love whomever they please (Kaufman 178). There is some evidence that the gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer and transgender movement has become very successful at reducing homophobia and increasing acceptance of different sexual orientation or different sexual identities.

News Framing: The Sino-U.S. Spy Plane Collision, 2005.
A comparison of the "New York Times" and the "People's Daily" coverage of the Sino-U.S. spy plane collision of April 1, 2001.

Abstract
On April 1, 2001, what began as a minor training exercise turned into a post-Cold War confrontation between two of the world's nuclear powers. On this date, a collision of a U.S. spy plane and a Chinese fighter jet resulted in a tense - but not hostile - political confrontation between the two nations. This paper examines how although the actual details of the spy plane collision in April 2001 differed substantially in their respective accounts in the Chinese and U.S. media, these differences were not so important to many observers as how important the role they played in shaping public opinion as the events unfolded. It provides a side-by-side comparison of the accounts from China and the U.S. to show how the "New York Times" and the "People's Daily" seem to be covering two completely separate incidents. It also defines and discusses the media framing functions that were categorized into three dimensions: visual framing, contextual framing and operational framing.

From the Paper
"From a subjective perspective, one can almost envision the Chinese leadership hunkered down in the Forbidden City formulating a cogent but forceful response to the spy plane incident that would show the world that they still meant business militarily, but one which would not go so far as to jeopardize what was really important: the American markets. However, from an international perspective, the evolution of the Sino-American trade bloc may be thwarted by future recurrences of this level of hostility, and in the post-Cold War globe, former allies may become potential enemies.

The Media and Inequality, 2007.

Abstract
This paper examines how media plays a major role in framing the interpretations of inequality in Australia. It looks at how it can help to both minimise inequality in a society and maximize it. It discusses how, whether it be through television, radio, the internet or music - the media is no doubt an influential powerhouse when it comes to molding a society's attitudes and beliefs about various groups and individuals.
From the Paper
"The internet has had a profound effect on inequality in Australia. It has made it much easier for those who are discriminated against, or segregated to come together. The internet has been 'involved in reconstructing our culture' (Beilharz, 2002: p266). It has reconstructed it by allowing for subcultures to exist in an almost parallel world, co-existing with the real world. Bonds between people thrive in virtual communities and various online organisations. It can assist those with particular interests (such as the television shows Star trek or X-files) to keep in contact with each other and to efficiently organize functions and parties in various cities around the world. Similarly individuals who feel they do not fit in to their society, or are being discriminated against can find others who feel exactly like they do and may be going through similar hardships."

Abstract
This paper describes the new home framing process in step order, with explanations of materials and their advantages and disadvantages. The paper looks at building codes and construction sequence. The paper looks at framing as the critical component in house construction.
From the Paper
"One of the first decisions to make when starting a new home framing project is what materials to use. Wood framing is standard on many homes, but to ensure that walls will be straight where cabinets will hang, it is necessary to avoid using rapid-growth light spring wood. Although the rapid growth makes it faster and cheaper to produce, it can cause the lumber to twist and bow when it dries out, causing walls to become wavy. These wavy walls can cause a variety..."

The Mass-Media Pygmalion, 2006.
This paper studies the complex relationship between consumers and the mass media. Do we create the media, or does the media create us?
1,208 words (approx. 4.8 pages), 4 sources, MLA, AU$ 60.95

Abstract
The author studies the give and take relationship between the media and our society to determine which is the cause and which is the effect. The author continues by showing a connection between the main icons of Western culture and the effects of the media. The fast food industry is highlighted and the author shows the great effects it has had on our trends and ideals, with conformity a notable outcome. After studying the diverse effects of our fast food culture today, the author concludes that only a corrupt society can allow the mass media such power.
From the Paper
"In the Classical Greco-Roman era, it was believed that Pygmalion, a sculptor, brought Galatea to life. However, today it seems to be a more common belief that Galatea creates Pygmalion. The question of whether members of our society create the media, or if the media influences members of the society to such a degree that it essentially creates the society, is a prominent one in the study of modern anthropology. Pop culture artifacts reveal a great deal about the modern society, including social trends, values, ideals, and more. The relationship between consumers and the mass media is a complex one that may not be simple enough to evaluate as a directional give-and-take diagram. There are many issues relating to social responsibility and the often clashing pursuits of individual wealth and greater good that come to play when discussing popular media, culture, and society."

From the Paper
"China entered into the World Trade Organization and gave rise to speculations that the world's largest media market might be much more easily accessible to publishers in the international media industry. The market economy in China is making gains however the media industry including the print remains in the governments hands which results in a product that is "forced-fed to all levels of governments offices, at a cost ultimately assumed by the taxpayers" (China Daily 2003) . In fact estimates for the taxes in China's media market are stated to be "16 to 20 billion a year. " (China Daily, 2003) Government spending pays approximately "6 to 10 billion Yuan" of that amount. (China Daily 2003) The media industry in China is under total government control with a very few foreign investors as well as private investors involved on the retail side of business."

The Media, Crime and the Status Quo, 2006.
A discussion regarding the relationship between the media and crime.

»

Abstract
This essay deals with the media's framing of crime. It looks at both individualistic and structural theories. It argues that the media uses individualistic theories because they work very well with liberal ideology. They essentially maintain the status quo.
From the Paper
"Crime has always been a contentious topic in Western societies. One of the most contentious aspects of crime in Western societies is its ultimate causes. Some people believe that crime can be explained using individualistic theories (Gomme 31). Other people believe that crime can be explained using structural theories (Gomme 47-57). This essay will look at both types of theories. It will be argued that the media mostly presents crime as an individualistic activity. Individualistic theories of crime appeal to the middle classes who do not want to feel responsible for crime. "

Abstract
The writer of this paper examines the recent growth in various alternative media sources which are grabbing more and more viewers away from the usual televised and print media into more locally controlled information sources. This paper details how various activist websites have utilized the world wide web to further their respective causes in innovative ways. For example: MoveOn.org organized a "Virtual March on Washington" where over 400,000 people signed up to flood the offices of the White House and Congress with a barrage of telephone calls and e-mails with support for a peaceful resolution to the war in Iraq. The writer contends that mainstream media tends to frame issues narrowly and in simplistic terms to avoid any real popular momentum whereas on various websites there are virtually no limits as to what can or can not be stated. With its lack of governmental oversight and unlimited bandwidth, cyberspace is finding itself, more often the first choice of those who want fast, reliable information.
From the Paper
"The true power, however, of this young medium was displayed in all its might on February 16, 2003, when "people with an astonishing variety of backgrounds and viewpoints" came out to "the biggest anti-war demonstrations ever held... worldwide." Religious organizations, race rights groups, environmentalists, anti-globalists, and others came together like a collective of Venn diagrams, independent but connecting in parts to move toward a common cause. The set up was fascinating because there was no "leader", no single set of beliefs holding these protestors together. From an organizing standpoint this type of setup has some positives and negatives. Since there is no central leadership it becomes a beast with many heads, very difficult to kill. Also, since it's arranged on the local level, the individual groups can spend time gathering up just their core constitutes by focusing on their specific agenda."

Abstract
This paper compares traditional media to new media in an attempt to determine which one is more influential and how they differ in their stories and presentation methods.
From the Paper
"Media is always biased, less trained, unprepared, and hasty or simply looking for sensationalism and that is the reason why the news that we receive is either insignificant or highly distorted. Apart from the reporting of various events during the recent Iraq War, which I trust were never reported accurately, the media also tried to divert public?s attention from pressing issues to those of minor significance by obsessing over trivial events. That media cannot be fully trusted for accurate account of events became a big issue when the story of Private Jessica Lynch came forth. Newspapers, televisions, local channels, radio stations and even the Internet obsessed over Jessica Lynch and her rescue from Iraqi forces. Almost overnight, she became the most important person in the world- an icon that everyone wanted to know more about. Lynch was presented as an epitome of courage and bravery and it appeared as if the only real purpose of having US force in Iraq was to rescue Jessica Lynch. ?In the fourteen days after her rescue, Lynch drew 919 references in major papers, according to a Nexis search. In that same period, General Tommy Franks, who ran the war, got 639 references, Vice President Dick Cheney 549, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz 389. She stood with the giants.?

From the Paper
"One of the main roles that the press plays in any democracy is that of a public watchdog that is vigilant over government activities on behalf of the people that government serves (Krimsky, 2000). The media is a fundamental tool in the decision-making of the democratic government in any country. A democracy requires the people of the state to make choices and decisions on a daily basis. This therefore needs to be aided by a media and media environment that allows for objectivity through its content and the journalists and staff of the forms of media themselves. The media needs to inform, without judging (Krimsky, 2000)."

Abstract
This paper is about representations of women and celebrities in the media and their effects on average American women. Some of the topics discussed in this paper are the media's portrayal of actresses and celebrities and their affects on teenagers and women, the differences and changes in images of celebrities through the past few decades, the ?Culture of slimming? , the objectification and subjectification of women, the psychological, social, physical, and mental effects on the average women, and the power of the entertainment industry.
From the Paper
"Over the past few decades, the so-called ?norm? for a female figure has drastically changed from voluptuous and curvy to waif-like thin. Many female celebrities have been known for their figures. Historically, Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield were two women who each wore a size 12 and were glorified by men all around the world. Today, celebrities from the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Calista Flockhart are admired for their abilities to become and stay so thin, almost appearing sick. As celebrities come and go, women compare themselves to whoever is ?popular? at the time."
