Becoming a Critical Viewer: Looking at a News Show Through a Lens
Assignment: the purpose of this 4-6 page essay is for you to look critically at one of the news sources we’ve talked about in class NEWS SOURCE “THE DAILY SHOW”, using what you saw in one or two of the documentaries we watched as a lens” STOP THE PRESSES”. That means that I’d like you to consider the news source you pick (either CBS Nightly News, the PBS NewsHour, or the Daily Show) with ideas from one of the documentaries in mind. Does your understanding of the source change based on what you saw in the documentary? Does the source challenge some of the documentary’s claims? What do you think the relationship is between the source and the documentary you picked? How would the makers of the documentary respond to the source you picked?
What To Do:
· Choose which news source and which documentary you want to write about.
· Re-examine a few episodes or articles from your news source, and pick a couple to focus on. These will serve as your sources of concrete detail on which to base your analysis.
· Consider the summary you wrote of the documentary you want to use. How does the documentary shape your understanding of the show? (Consider the questions above.)
· Do a Shitty (or not so shitty) First Draft.
· Use the link about lens essays, and our class discussions about this, as well as the Thesis Development Exercise process, to create a working thesis.
· Write your paper, using a process that works for you!
· Be sure to put your Polished Draft into MLA format, using MLA style citations, and an MLA Works Cited page.
Helpful Hints:
· The most difficult part of an analysis essay that uses two texts is going beyond summarizing what you see in each text. A truly successful paper will put your own ideas about your news show in conversation with the viewpoint in the documentary.
· As always, be sure to choose a topic you will be excited to focus on. This will help your essay be successful.
