FSU The Responses of Media Consumers to The Emmett Till Murder Essay

For this part of the project, you’re going to use a major headline/news event from one of the four themes: Ownership of Mass Media Businesses, Sports, Media Violence, or Privacy and do a compare-and-contrast case study. It will require you to view your topic from three different angles: locally, nationally, and globally.  Your case study should compare and contrast your topic with how it was portrayed from a local, national, and global standpoint.

JUST TO CLARIFY: For this assignment, the local news is where the event took place. For example, the local news coverage for the Columbine school shooting that occurred in 1999 will be Columbine, CO. National news for the event can be any other news coverage that covered the event in the USA including Miami, and the global news will be any country outside of the USA regardless of the native language of the country that covered the event, including Canada, UK, Spain, etc.

• Were the reactions from media consumers varied in other parts of the world?
