Imagine you work for a media outlet company and you were given the task to cover your chosen topic in the media. Would you have covered it differently than the content you came across during your research?

This part of the Capstone Project will require you to reflect on your capstone topic and what you learned so far about media literacy.

Your reflection should be able to answer the following:

How did researching your topic help you understand more about media literacy?
Did you become more media literate after researching your topic?
Did your view on “what media literacy is” shift after doing this project?
Did the project give you a better understanding of how media outlets persuade you in viewing and reacting to their content?
Imagine you work for a media outlet company and you were given the task to cover your chosen topic in the media. Would you have covered it differently than the content you came across during your research? For example, would you have used different jargon, images, audio, descriptions, etc., to portray it differently? Explain. Think critically about this one and provide a few of your own examples to support your claims.
This is not a question-and-answer assignment. It needs to be structured and formatted as an essay. DO NOT include the questions within your essay.
