Stereotypes in Media

Create a television log (United States) based on the Nielsen model. It should be at least 5 days worth of viewing, but can be over any amount of time. Note time of day, network, program, ads. Discuss stereotypes represented or efforts to counter stereotypes. (If no TV, Hulu or YouTube videos can be subbed, but they need to be ones with advertisements.)
After you create your log, you will write a 250-400-words reflection to go with it.
In this reflection think about the following questions:
• What are your thoughts on what you logged/observed during your viewing?
• How does that align with what you have learned about in this lesson?
• What this all means?
• How do the lesson materials align with the real world?
• Do they?
• What’s your takeaway from this lesson?
When you have completed the assignment, save a copy for yourself in an easily accessible location and submit a copy to your instructor below using the Submit Paper link.
