Orange Coast College Media and Public Opinion Annotated Bibliography ASSIGNMENT: Prepare a two-page annotated bibliography of research on a specific topic related to a mass media problem. Include 4-6 credible, verifiable sources. Your sources should include at least one print source, one web site, and one article found using the Lexis/Nexis database.

TOPIC: Research a problem which relates to one or more of the mass media covered in class (i think we talked about Magazines, News papers, Radios, The american film industry, Tabloids). Be able to identify this problem with a specific thesis sentence. I expect you to include this sentence at the top of your annotated bibliography.

FORMAT: Do not exceed two pages, and do not double-space the document. Include your name, classtime—including the days of the week that the class meets and due date at the top of the page, as well as the sentence that expresses your topic. Organize your bibliographic information according to MLA format.

CRITERIA: You will be graded on the following aspects of your paper.

1.) Mechanics (spelling, punctuation, MLA format, etc.)

2.) Following Directions (How well does your paper conform to the directions presented herein?)

3.) Analysis and understanding of research and mass media topic
