You may examine your topics frequency and presentation in news, books, magazines, films, social media, and your own social interaction.

What forms of media carry reports of the issue? How is it presented or framed? What is public reaction to accounts of this issue? Does coverage of this topic seem to come in waves? Does its media frequency make sense when crime data is examined (if applicable)?
