Your task is to write the most detailed, insightful, and purposeful media critique as possible in 1750-2000 words (12 point standard font style).
As an academic essay, your media critique should follow the norms and standards of college-level writing. The writing should follow standard APA Style Guide (7th ed) in grammar, punctuation, and referencing of source material.
You may use your own conversational style and creative as long as you follow the standards of academic writing and fulfill the content requirements above. Use third person voice whenever possible. Avoid making yourself the focus of the discussion (this happens when you use first person “I”).
Headings are acceptable, but do not use bullet points. Write in continuous narrative format with paragraph breaks to organize your ideas.
Include a References list immediately following your essay. Make sure to include full publication information, including your chosen media text. Consult www.apastyle.orgLinks to an external site. if you are unfamiliar with APA Style 7.
After completing your written critique, clarify and deepen the meaning of your ideas using basic multimedia artifacts. Include embedded video, images, graphics, and/or hypertext, as you deem appropriate. These multimedia should not be additive (mere visual aids) but should extend your ideas for the reader (illustrative). This is an interpretive exercise, so use your critical judgment.
Be responsible in your use of all source material. You are allowed a maximum of one in-text reference/use of an AI-generator, and it must also be properly documented in your References list (APA Style). If more than 25% of your essay is flagged as potentially AI-generated without proper source attribution, you will earn a failing score for this assignment.
Make sure to edit carefully. Use something like wordcounter.netLinks to an external site. to check spelling, grammar, and word count. Run your writing through zerogpt.comLinks to an external site. to check for proper paraphrasing and source attribution (see AI restrictions above). You are 100% accountable for how your ideas are represented through your writing. Be responsible in your attribution of source material.
