What effect does the media have on body image?

Final Draft Specifications Length: 1300-1500 words (not including citation page) Format: Please use APA citation style. (If you are majoring in English, email your instructor about using MLA instead.)

Your paper should include at least two visual elements (for example, charts, tables, diagrams, photographs, or screenshots) that have an informational/communicative function within the main text. Visual elements must be properly labeled and properly cited. (We will practice this in class.)

Audience: Address your paper to an academic audience, one that is college0educated and values analytic examination backed by persuasive evidence from expert sources. Ideas must be fully explained but also must approach an expert-level understanding of the topic.

Range of Research Sources: You must use a minimum of six high-quality/reliable sources, at least three of which must be peer-reviewed, scholarly journal articles from the NU library's databases. (Note: a minimum = barely passing.) Be assured that the NU Library skills you develop will be transferable to other academic research environments, as academic libraries are set up very similarly and draw upon the same database vendors: ProQuest, EBSCO, etc.

You should also try to use at least one book, but this will depend on your topic. Be aware of the "information cycle": events are generally covered first in newspapers, then in magazines, then in scholarly journals, and then in book-length studies. It's usually not possible to find books on very recent issues or events. Whenever you use web sites, you will need to be aware of the limitations and possible biases of such sources. This awareness should shape how you use various kinds of web sources in your paper. Your goal should be to draw upon credible sources in your paper, and to conduct a thorough and fair inquiry.

Cross-disciplinarity: The paper should also be cross-disciplinary. That is, it should draw upon data and insights from more than one academic discipline to shed light on the research question.
