Research Paper
Today, digital media is found throughout all business and personal activities making it necessary to have a high level of understanding of both the sources of content, as well as the methods in which the information is consumed. The responsible utilization of digital media requires individuals to have an awareness of the global, social, ethical, and legal contexts in which the digital media is consumed.
Deliverable for Project
Students are required to select a topic related to global, social, ethical, or legal issues with digital media. You will perform in-depth research and provide an explanation of how issues associated with your selected topic relates to the consumption of digital media. I will have some suggested topics in a announcement later on in class as topics that are not focused or too broad in scope will not be effective related to objectives. You may not do this on a topic or organization covered in a previous project submitted to this class.
