Based on what you learn, write a 3-page, double-spaced essay in which you explain how the mass communication theory that you have chosen relates to your final paper’s research question. Do notmerely summarize the three articles about the theory that you selected. Instead, synthesize what you learned by giving enough information about each article (e.g., its purpose, its study results, how it explains a mass communication behavior or media effect, etc.) so that readers will understand your argument for how/why using the article would inform and support your use of the theory in your final paper for this class. You will be graded on your argument, not on your ability to paraphrase what is written in the articles.
