Media and Popular Culture *Assignment #2 *Assignment #2 Assignment Content Your task is to create a simple infographic (a photoquote) on the topic of media and popular culture like the one shown in the Zoom class. (If you didn’t attend the class, I recommend you watch the recording.) Watch this quick video What is an Infographic? to learn how they function and help focus your work. Remember that your infographic will be a photoquote (one image and one quotation only; See an example watch this week’s Zoom class.) It should be thought-provoking and original. There are two parts to this assignment. Part A Create* and submit a photoquote (with citations).

This photoquote includes an image and a quotation on the topic of media and popular culture. This pairing needs to make sense: The meaning of the quotation should be enhanced by the image. You can select a quotation and image through research, but they must relate to ideas and conversations we have covered in the class so far. I have posted links to finding free images online and copyright help below. Furthermore, the quotation must be from a reputable source. (Consider our media literacy unit and the CRAP test as you select your quotation.) As we discussed in class, do not feel bound by geography; Feel free to explore media outside of North America.

Just note that your quotation must be in English, and it must have been originally published/posted in English. Part B Offer a brief explanation of about 100-150 words exploring a) how the photoquote relates to course content that we have covered so far this term b) why you have selected the particular image and quotation Be as specific as possible. For instance, saying the photoquote relates to radio is not specific enough.

Media and Popular Culture

What aspect of radio that we covered in class relates to the photoquote you have created?, How does the photoquote enhance understanding? You’ll need to cite the class or course materials (synchronous or asynchronous) you are referring to here. Citations: You’ll need to cite all materials (images, quotation, and class materials) in APA. For directions on APA, here are a couple of helpful links: How to Cite Images in APA How to cite class materials (including lectures & slides) and examples of how to cite other sources. If you have citation questions, you can chat with a Seneca Librarian. Finding Images: If you are looking for images for this project.

Seneca Sandbox has suggestions & links for finding free images. Copyright: All materials must comply with copyright. Please see Seneca’s copyright tutorial for students for details. Please review image sources and citing/attribution sections of the Sandbox Finding Free Images guide to ensure you are following copyright. Format: Please submit your infographic as a PDF. (*Please note that you must create an original infographic; you cannot use a copy of one that you find online.) This project will be graded out of 100 and is weighted at 20%* of the final grade. (*Please note this weighting has been updated to reflect the addendum). APA
