The case study is your opportunity to present original content on the topic of media ethics. Your case study topic should be directly related to the chapter readings and should not be an existing case study. Your case study topic should be an ethical instance directly related to media. A case study is not directly about ethics as a whole, it is focused on one particular instance where ethical decisions have occurred. You will also notice in the readings of the assigned case studies, from the book, case studies are void of opinions. Case studies are about presenting all the facts, so that others can form their own opinions based on the information provided. Successful completion of the case study assignment will entail prior research on the chosen topic, in order to provide the necessary background information for the application of ethical decision-making processes. The case study assignment is worth 400 possible points. You are able to choose one of the following three ways to present your case study.
A paper written in APA style, 5 to 7 pages in length not including references.
An audio recording of yourself discussing your case study in its entirety. The audio file should be 5 to 10 minutes in length with clear references to research in the audio recording.
A video recording of yourself, including any necessary visual aids, discussing your case study in its entirety. The video should be 5 to 10 minutes in length with clear references to research in the video.
Completed case study assignments are to be submitted in Blackboard as a word document (written), MP3 file (Audio recording), or link to video (Video) on the due date.
