The relationship between a new media technology/platform/practice and society Assignments | Get Homework Help

Students are required to submit a 2000 word essay on a topic of their choosing exploring a specific new media technology/platform/practice.

Students should select a new media technology/platform/practice and construct an academic argument around it. It needs to be a specific argument, that tells the reader something about the relationship between this new media technology/platform/practice and society more generally. Don’t just give a technological description or history. For example the argument: ‘Facebook has facilitated new forms of protest’ would be a good topic, whereas a broad history of Facebook’s technological development would fail.

The essay should do the following (it does not have to be in this order):

– Briefly describe the historical development of your new media technology/platform/practice in relation to your overall argument (Do not go into unnecessary detail, 1 paragraph should be enough for most technologies)
– Articulate a sophisticated academic argument about this new media technology/platform/practice
– Critically analyse the cultures that surround the technology/platform/practice and explain why they are important or significant
– Examine any conflicts and tensions that surround the technology/platform/practice
– State why it is important to understand this new media technology/platform/practice in this way

**Essays must use at least one article from the reader, and at least two from your own research.**

– Essays must use media studies and/or cultural studies academic texts, and develop an argument in line with these approaches. If you are unsure what this means please ask your tutor.
