Case Study

The purpose of this assignment is to link theoretical/scholarly material about media effects and content to a “real world” case. For example, past students examined a number of subtopics related to the media and COVID-19 through the lens of theories such as agenda-setting or framing. 

This assignment calls on you to select a case of interest to you that recently (the last year) played out publicly via some type of media channel. This could include traditional news outlets, blogs, social media or some combination of these channels. You will then critique and analyze the case from the theoretical framework(s) and perspective(s) in the scholarly literature you have chosen. You can choose from the following theoretical frameworks: framing, situational crisis communication theory, agenda building, or fear appeal. Your case study should conclude with a summary of lessons learned from the case and/or any recommendations you have for how the individuals and/or organizations involved could have used media more strategically to realize more favorable outcomes. The final assignment should be approximately 12-15 pages in length (double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 or Calibri 11; page count excludes title page and references page).

A complete Case Study will include all of the following components:

• Introduction: Describes overall purpose of paper (includes description of case for background/context; briefly previews type of media content that will be analyzed and theoretical/scholarly literature that will be used; makes argument for why that area of scholarly literature is best suited to understanding the case).
• Literature Review: Summary of theoretical/scholarly literature reviewed for the case (at least 10 sources cited). This should be updated from your proposal literature review based on your findings. 
• Methodology: Identifies media content analyzed, provides rationale for media content selected, describes how media content was collected, briefly identifies qualitative content analysis as the method of data analysis.
• Media Review: Provides analysis of the chosen media that derives from insights related to the theoretical framework outlined in the literature review. For example, if you reviewed crisis communication theories/principles, you should be analyzing your data to report if and how those principles were used; if you reviewed framing theory, you should be looking for types of frames used, etc.). Findings from analyzed media texts are written in a narrative/thematic/descriptive format with example quotes interspersed to serve as evidence. In other words, describe the media sources (videos, text, images, etc.) and themes, using quotes to illustrate, enough so that the reader can understand how these examples are related to the prior sections of the paper. There is no specific required number of media sources as the sources will vary depending on your topic, however, please be sure to provide enough to analyze and justify your points. At a minimum, you should expand on what you started in the proposal assignment. 
• Discussion/Conclusion: The discussion and conclusion can occupy a single section, or individual sections can be created for the discussion and conclusion, respectively. Either way, provide comparisons/contrasts to previous literature and practical lessons learned, as well as an analysis of how the individuals and/or organizations involved could have used media more strategically to realize more favorable outcomes and/or why favorable outcomes were achieved in the case. You should also discuss what communication practitioners should take away from this case to inform similar situations in the future – i.e., key recommendations or lessons learned. Furthermore, provide a conclusion that summarizes the broader Case Study and what it has contributed to our understanding of the issues/theories discussed.
• References: All sources (including media sources, scholarly articles, etc.) should be cited APA style in the text and in a full reference list at the end of the paper.

Assignment Content You decide to prepare a set of report documents that will be completed concurrently and after the implementation of your evaluation. You decide to add these forms to the memo you drafted in Wk 3 – Design Evaluation. Your intention is to receive feedback on reporting expectations so that the task force can participate in steering the evaluation. Given the definition and design of your evaluation, prepare a 525- to 700-word report template that will objectively communicate data, interpretations, conclusions, and recommendations. Develop your hypothesis statement for presentation. What information from the textbook, assignments, and discussions are relevant to the problems you are addressing in your evaluation? What theory and calipers provided background information about the problem(s)? What actors and variables are you including in your evaluation? Which will change? Which will remain the same? What is your hypothesis? What areas are vulnerable to bias and risk misinterpretation? Cite at least 3 peer-reviewed or similar references to support your assignment. Format your assignment according to APA guidelines. Submit your assignment

Exam Content In the field, you will need to be able to communicate the results of your evaluation in a way that guides stakeholders through your process, extends understanding of your conclusions, and provokes questions and ideas that pave the way for future evaluation and change. You have already drafted an executive summary to use as an introduction to your final narrative. Complete your presentation by adding 10 to 15 slides that are designed to summarize the data you will collect. Use the outline that you prepared last week to map how you will communicate results. Also, take some time to consider a spectrum of responses given a variety of outcomes. In this way, you will be prepared for different reactions. Show the relationship between the goals and objectives of both the program and your proposed evaluation. Prepare slides in which you address the following: Results and recommendations welcomed by stakeholders Neutral results and recommendations Results and recommendations unwelcomed by stakeholders Include in your speaker notes details of how you will use the contingency planning you mapped in this week’s discussion. Format your PowerPoint® presentation to ensure the slides only contain essential information and as little text as possible. Do not design a slide made up of long bullet points. Your speaker notes convey the details you would give if you were presenting. For help, consult the guide on how to create speaker notes from Microsoft®. Include comprehensive speaker notes. Cite at least 2 peer-reviewed or similar references to support your assignment. Include a slide with APA-formatted references. Submit your assignment. Finally, prepare a 350-word summary document that your stakeholders can take with them and review. In this document, offer a concise review of the work you have done: In general, evaluation questions fall into these groups: Implementation: How and when will the evaluation take place? Effectiveness: Define evidence of evaluation quality and achievement. Efficiency: Summarize use of resources: time, human, and financial. Cost-Effectiveness: How will the value or benefit of evaluating the program to target improvement exceed the cost of maintaining the status quo? Attribution: How will progress on goals and objectives identified in your evaluation be shown to be related to program improvements, as opposed to other things that are going on at the same time? Cite a minimum of 3 peer-reviewed or similar sources to support your assignment. Format your executive summary according to APA guidelines. Submit your assignment.

Socio-Cultural Identity Pie Assignment Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to help raise awareness of your multiple identities and assess your understanding of these identities. Directions: Reflect on all of the socio-cultural identities that make you the unique individual you are. Consider identities like race, gender, ethnicity, sexual identity, disability status, physical appearance, citizenship, nationality, religious affiliation, socio-economic status, and any other cultural group memberships to which you belong. Make a list of all the identities that are you are most and least aware. Then, to visualize this task, using a method of your choice, draw a circle and then draw a “slice” in the circle that represents your awareness of each identity. The size of each slice reflects how often you think about the social groups that identify you. For the socio-cultural identities that you are most aware, section off a larger slice. For the socio-cultural identities that you do not think about daily, give them a smaller slice. In the end, your pie might look something like the following examples: Share your insights from this exercise by writing a 500-word essay that considers the following questions: Which identities are you most aware of and why? Which identities do you take for granted and not think about as often? Why are you not as aware of them? How did it feel to create your social identity pie? How does this exercise relate to diversity, equity, and inclusion matters? Note: Your final submission for this assignment should include your socio-cultural identity pie diagram along with your essay

Communication styles reflect how we relay information within the message. When considering communication styles, think about the tone and content of the message and how it will be perceived by the receiver. Some styles may reflect a warm and hospitable feeling, while others are more clinical. Do not confuse styles with channels, which are how a message is delivered (verbal, written, email, etc.). Communication styles are classified using many different names and methods, and you will need to research three styles you wish to discuss in your paper. 

 An infographic (information graphic) is a graphic format used to present information in a way that is both appealing and easily understandable at a glance. Infographics are a fantastic way to convey information through visual cues that can enhance your target audience’s reception of the information.
