For your 4th blog, continue to choose your own research topic that focuses on some aspects of life narratives or the representations of lives, as outlined with lots of topic suggestions in blog 3 (review here). You can write about World is Moving, about Jiwani & Young, the issues both raise about how media represent lives / subjects, or any of the primary and secondary readings to date (think, though, about what you’re adding to our discussions that’s new). You can also take up the popular readings I’ve asked you to complete alongside Jiwani & Young for Nov 8: “When the Media Treats White Suspects Better than Black Victims,” Chris Hayes’ spoof journalism, as discussed in this story, and “I am Not Your Wife, Sister, or Daughter” (and you might check out the myriad discussions of the wife/daughter/sister trope that surfaced after the Trump Tape media storm).
Leave your comments on each others’ posts here by Tues 9:30 am.
