Media Research Paper Topics

Topics that I would love to research in order of interest: 

1. Advertising Tracking 

  • The use of cookies.
  • Possible privacy violation of internet tracking and data collecting.
  • How advertising tracking is used by corporations to promote their products.


2. Political Agenda

  • The effect that a political party has on certain aspects of the media.
  • How much influence can a political party have by using their media outlet and tactics.  For example, if their is a proposition that needs to be passed, it's how they can effectively use their propaganda to influence the outcome of the election.

  1. Caylin, These are both interesting topics that need to be narrowed down quite a bit. You could write an entire book about either. The first topic - one question that comes to mind is, are there any laws to be violated? Are there legal limits? If so, what law cases have come up in the last few years?
    The second topic - are we talking about political parties or propositions? Would you want to track one specific California proposition in tomorrow's election, who advertised for and against, and how it turned out?
