Research Paper Topics
- Politics: I think it is important for journalists to paint the picture of the person running for a position as a leader, not just on the one issue that is pinpointed during the elections. If I were to choose this topic to write my paper on, I would find the polls of how many people voted when the stories involved the leadership qualities of the people, versus when the stories were about one issue.
- Journalists: Why are there no magazines or papers that focus on happy/positive news? They have an obligation to keep us happy. Are there any papers or magazines that DO focus on positive news about the world? Why have they not taken off? What could they do to be more successful/ bring in more revenue?
- Social Media: What does it take to become “famous” or “successful” on a social media platform? You see people trying and trying everyday, but only a few have achieved universal fame through their media. What qualifies as “internet famous”?
First topic is a good idea, but it would require many researchers and one or two years of research during and after an election campaign. Second topic you can probably find research about attempts to report only positive news, but I wonder if it can really be called journalism. Third topic sounds very interesting and researchable.
