I am heading out to a talk at UofT titled "Democracy and the Media's Role in Keeping the Populace Informed" and am hoping it will inspire me to solidify a topic in the coming week so that I can get going on a proposal and the final project.
In the mean time, through some other research, I came across these interesting organizations:

This research and tonight's talk makes me think of a potential project looking at the same issue through the lens of different countries. For example how does the most popular US station project an event differently than does Canada's or Britain's most popular news station? This would be an interesting look at how the same issue can be manipulated to achieve a hidden agenda. Just a thought, but hopefully tonights talk will give me a better understanding of this and some potential direction.
Thanks
Tiana
