With reference to academic sources why are the media important during a General Election? (Tip: you may want to think about the media’s ability to foster a ‘public sphere’ (Habermas) for the open exchange of ideas). Ensure that you don’t base your essay entirely on non-academic web sources (e.g. news snippets, corporate information, PR sources). Do NOT cite Wikipedia or Google (unless you are using these companies as a case study). Make sure that you consult and reference academic books and articles, recommended for this module. As this is an academic essay don’t forget to include: • An introduction – that sets out what you are going to write about and how you will structure your essay (about 100-200 words) • A conclusion – that summarises your key finds and arguments (about 200 words) • A bibliography at the end of the essay with at least 8 sources. At least 5 of these should be academic sources i.e. not newspaper articles or online news items • References to your reading in the text e.g. (Gauntlett, 2007: 33). We want you to use the Harvard system of referencing. PLACE THIS ORDER OR A SIMILAR ORDER WITH US TODAY AND GET AN AMAZING DISCOUNT :)
