J1 and HDIP 2001. Extra
readings for SA Media essay topics
I'm looking
forward to your essays. Not to a regurgitation of information, but to your analysis
and dissection of it, and to what arguments you bring to the material. I'm not
testing what you know - that I take as a given. I'm looking at what you make of
that knowledge: how you assess, link, contrast and manipulate it, to produce
wisdom.
But you need a
good information base to begin with. To start, that means your Readers. If
you're falling behind now, be warned! It is going to be hard to catch up later.
But I also want you to go beyond your Readers and show me that you have read
and understood other sources as well. How many? Well, this is your judgement
call. It is up to you to decide where to cut off - in terms of what you want to
know, and what your time pressures are.
Skim as many sources as you can, and get your teeth into those that seem
most useful to your topic and the angle you are going to take.
Most of the
readings below are on Shortloan or in the journals section (basement) of the
Rhodes library. You are encouraged to
use the library catalogue and to scrutinise the journalism journals to find
additional materials.
For contemporary
information, you can try the Internet using an SA search engine like
ananzi.co.za or max.co.za, as well as newspaper archives (mg.co.za, bday.co.za,
