Presentation on the S*n's coverage of Hillsborough

Internationinteroperability · May 27, 2013

Hi everyone.

I have to give a 10 minute presentation in my Media, Communication and Context class and I’m considering talking about the S*n’s coverage of the Hillsborough disaster, basically analysing how a blatantly disrespectful coverage of the disaster has resulted in the S*n losing all its credibility (if it had any in the first place!), how it has affected the relationship between the medium and society. I’m just a bit afraid that I might end up talking about mackenzie and how much of a c*** he is as he is the main culprit, but I’m not sure that’s a good idea since my presentation is an academic exam. Therefore, any input/ideas/etc. on the angle of the topic will be greatly appreciated (my professor has never heard of Hillsborough so obviously I need to enlighten him a bit!).

Also, these are my guidelines:

You should strive to narrow your research question as much as possible. It is better to deal with a narrow topic in-depth, rather than trying to cover too broad a topic superficially. I can provide assistance with this.

Your presentation should be analytical in nature, and not simply descriptive. You should be arriving at a meaningful conclusion(s), which is supported by your research.

You should have some theoretical basis for your analysis. As you choose and refine your topic, I will assist you individually with this.

It is suggested that you consult 5-10 quality academic sources, beyond the course texts, for your presentation.

Your topic may deal with either an historical or contemporary issue. You may also compare periods.

Your topic may deal with a specific medium or technology.

Your topic may deal with a specific theory or theorist.

You may deal with a specific media artifact, i.e. publication, ad, commercial, film, TV show etc.

Your presentation may be comparative in nature, but considering the time limitations, be careful not to attempt covering too much.

Your topic must have relation to English language media or communication. In other words, you may not choose to focus on media or media artifacts that are not in English.

Just to clarify, I'm not looking for anyone to my dirty work or anything, but some of you have a lot of knowledge about the topic that could indeed help improve my presentation.

Many thanks in advance,

Peter
