C101 Sports & Media Exercise
Watch this video.on agenda setting and framing! Note that although the video refers primarily to these comments in relation to public policy, they can easily be extended to apply to any topic of interest to the general public or specific publics (e.g., sports fans).
Part 1
A simple, working definition of agenda setting by the media is the selection of which news stories to cover and what order of priority and emphasis to present them in.
For this part of the assignment, you will investigate differences in agenda setting across three different sports websites.
You should have 15-20 minutes to devote to taking notes and making observations of the three sites. This will be easier to do on a computer than a mobile phone. So, when you have this time to devote, open the HOMEPAGES for following three sites.
Do so AT THE SAME TIME on different tabs of a web browser:
ESPN: https://www.espn.com/
Fox Sports: https://www.foxsports.com/
BBC Sport: https://www.bbc.com/sport
Take notes on:
How each site prioritizes in the world of sports at that moment in time
Any single story that appears on the home page of only one of the sites. What type of story is it?
For a story appearing on all three sites, are there differences in how ‘big’ a story it seems?
What kinds of images are used on each site to support the stories?
These notes do not need to be turned in
Write and submit 1-2 paragraphs (at least 500 words) describing differences in how the agenda of sports news differed across the three sites.
Part 2
A simple, working definition of framing by the media is how the story is told (which elements are prioritized/excluded, which voices are heard, and how issues are discussed).
Find a single story that is covered by at least two of the sites but framed differently.
Write at least two paragraphs (approximately 200 words each) describing how the sites told the same story from a different perspective, providing examples from both sites to support your point. Be sure to put any quotations from the articles in quotation marks and cite the author/article.
Part 3
Take a look back at your notes on images. In terms of the homepages of each site, how do the visuals differ? What similarities do they share? How do these design/pictorial choices affect the reader’s overall experience of sports news?
Write a paragraph (at least 200 words) that analyzes each homepage’s visual elements by comparing them. Be sure to discuss what impact these visual choices have on the way each organization communicates sports news.
To summarize, your write-up should include the following elements:
Part 1: 1-2 paragraphs (at least 500 words) related to agenda setting
Part 2: 2 paragraphs (at least 200 words each) related to framing
Part 3: 1 paragraph (at least 200 words) addressing homepage visuals
Be sure to label each part of the assignment (Parts 1, 2 and 3) so it is clear how you are responding to the prompts.
Grading rubric:
A 10-point assignment will:
Have 4-5 paragraphs labeled and written in complete sentences
Each paragraph responds fully and thoughtfully to all the questions
Considers similarities and differences across the three sites
Demonstrates understanding of agenda setting and framing
Provides relevant examples, with quotations when appropriate, and proper citation

State your position on one of these issues – are you for, against, or neutral? Explain why.
This is a discussion post so you can type out the question and type out the answer
Text book -Think Critically
Book by Carol A. Gittens and Peter A. Facione
Chapter 10 and 11
Initial Post Instructions
Consider one of the following current social issues – or one of your choice:
Gun violence
Racism
Economic inequality
Sexism
Violent crime
Immigration
For the initial post, address the following:
State your position on one of these issues – are you for, against, or neutral? Explain why. Avoid vagueness or ambiguity in your response. Make your position very clear.
Examine how you have formed that opinion.
How well do you think you know the facts?
Do you know and understand statistical information that applies to the issue?
Do you think you have formed your opinion using only System-1 thinking, or have you applied System-2?
What part have heuristics, cognitive bias, and dominance structuring played in how you have formed your opinions?
The initial post is not about how “correct” your position is; it is about how you arrived at your position on the issue. This discussion requires application of metacognition – thinking about how you think.
Follow-Up Post Instructions
Respond to at least one peer. Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification.
In your responses, look for another student’s post, either on the same or a different issue. Choose, where possible, a peer whose initial post has not yet been examined by another student, and examine it. Do you agree or disagree with your peer?
Is your initial reaction to your peer “So, right; you bet!” or is it “So wrong, you’re all wet!”
Examine carefully your thinking in response to your peers:
What part, if any, have facts, heuristics, or dominance structuring played in your response?
What part, if any, has cognitive bias played in your response?
You should also look at responses to your initial post:
Did your peer fairly evaluate you? Discuss this with your peer.
You may find that just the minimum three posts are not sufficient to discover whether you can identify these elements. You will have to make a judgement call: do the minimum three and miss out on the deep thinking required by this exercise, or go beyond the minimum three and really begin to understand your thought processes and the concept of critical thinking.
A very valuable final post would be to discuss your judgment call: perhaps you “got it” in three; perhaps you opted for more than three; perhaps other demands on your time did not allow you to exercise as much deep thinking as you would have liked to do. Perhaps you did not see much value in the discussion – a very valuable final post would be a brief statement of why you found it so. Do not be shy about critiquing the exercise. Look at “A Poorly Crafted Assignment” in section 11.1 of the text in which the authors critique a similar assignment.
Writing Requirements

Describe the enduring persistent characteristics (traits) of this person that make up his/her personality.
paper in which you will analyze the personality of a well-known person through two of the perspectives/domains of knowledge discussed in this course (the perspectives/ Domains of Knowledge you will chose from are clearly identified in the ‘topic’ column of the schedule on your syllabus). You will identify and describe enduring persistent characteristics of this person and then use the 2 perspectives/Domains of Knowledge to analyze their behaviors.
First, you need to choose a well-known person to analyze. Your analysis paper can only be as stimulating as your subject. Look for an interesting, complicated, multi-dimensional person who has lived long enough to do some out-of-the ordinary things in their lifetime (the guidelines for who you can specifically choose to write about are listed below).
When writing your paper, you will ORGANIZE your paper into FOUR sections:
1) Provide a brief History/Biography of this person. You will have to do some true investigation to get this information because you may not just use ‘popular beliefs’ about this person. Present this information in a chronological fashion (starting with what happened first, then continue to the latest). Only list the important issues that you feel influenced ‘who’ this person came to be. Remember to be clear and brief (do your best to summarize well)…you only have 4-6 pages to do your full analysis. This is not the ‘meat’ of your paper.
2) Describe the enduring persistent characteristics (traits) of this person that make up his/her personality. Discuss in detail the personal characteristics and behaviors that depict these personality characteristics. What characteristics are consistently demonstrated through his/her biographical information? It may help to narrow your description to a specific aspect of his/her personality or how this person acts in a few specific situations. This part of your paper should be a strictly descriptive, without any interpretation. That is, describe what this person does, says or feels, not why that is. Don’t simply restate biographical information. Focus the number of enduring characteristics to a small, manageable number, so that you can analyze them well in the next section.
Be specific about which traits/characteristics of this person you will be explaining in the next section. Bold these traits when you write about them. Use your course notes to ‘name’ the traits or characteristics in terms that you can explain in-depth in the next section (and remember to bold them).
3) Analyze this person’s interesting characteristics (traits) and behaviors from two perspectives/domains of knowledge covered in this course.—Important section!
Go back over the description in the second part and now provide an explanation for each of the enduring characteristics (traits) from the two domains/perspectives you are choosing. Use two different domains of knowledge and perspectives discussed in this course to analyze why you believe the person behaves the way s/he does or has the personality characteristics that s/he does. Can you make connections between your subject’s past and present? Why does s/he do what s/he does? Discuss any aspect of the domains of knowledge/perspectives that you feel is relevant. Briefly define the terms/concepts you will reference from the course. Only psychological terms from the course are fair game to be the basis of your analysis (don’t go to outside sources and pull in obscure terms). You should look ahead to future chapters that you haven’t covered yet. If you would like to include a concept/term from outside the course, you just need to email me in advance and we will discuss it.
This section is your chance to analyze why someone behaves the way the way they do, and base your analysis on theory. You will be addressing the question, “Why is this person like this, according to this theory?” You will not give your opinion here based on your personal history or ideas. You will base this analysis on theory found in the two perspectives/domains of knowledge you choose. When discussing various concepts and topics from the two perspectives/domains you choose, make sure you briefly define the concepts first, then explain how they are related to or explain the enduring traits/behavior of your identified person.
Here are a couple rules when choosing which perspectives/domains you will explore:
– You may not choose the Dispositional Domain (students tend to be too narrow in their discussion if using this domain). You may use terms from this Domain to ‘name’ the enduring traits in section #2, but you cannot use this domain to analyze the enduring traits.
– You must choose the Intrapsychic Domain as one of the perspectives through which to analyze the personality development of this interesting person. You can discuss any aspect of this domain, from Freud’s information to more current ideas of personality development.
So, you will then choose one additional domain/perspective through which to analyze this person’s personality. Remember—if you choose a Domain you have not covered yet in class, review the outline, PowerPoints, and lecture for details.
[Note: make sure to follow these two rules for choosing a domain of knowledge/perspective to analyze the personality of your famous person—your grade will suffer if you do not follow these rules. Ask if you have any questions.]
Remember to be clear and use your two domains of knowledge to explain each of the enduring characteristics from the previous section. Explain ‘why’ the person you chose has those traits in this analysis section, using theories. This is a very important section of your paper!
4) Summarize and present your Opinion about how well the domains of knowledge or perspectives explained the personality of the person you chose. State your opinions and the reasons behind them. This is your opportunity to have a personal voice. To get full credit for this section, you must be sure to provide the reasons for what you think so that the reader can understand your thinking. Also, include in this section any unanswered questions you might still have about how this person became who they became. Are there inconsistencies in their personality that you were unable to explain through the domains/perspectives you choose, even after reviewing your notes? What still has you thinking about this person? What unanswered questions have you been thinking about? Is there anything you did not get a chance to address in this paper due to length constraints?

Explain why particular stakeholders and groups must be involved in further development and implementation of your proposed policy and practice guidelines.
Write a 4-6 page policy proposal and practice guidelines for improving quality and performance associated with the benchmark metric underperformance you advocated for improving in Assessment 1.
Introduction
In advocating for institutional policy changes related to local, state, or federal health care laws or policies, health leaders must be able to develop and present clear and well-written policy and practice guideline proposals that will enable a team, a unit, or an organization as a whole to resolve relevant performance issues and bring about improvements in the quality and safety of health care. This assessment offers you an opportunity to take the lead in proposing such changes.
As a master’s-level health care practitioner, you have a valuable viewpoint and voice on policy development, both inside and outside your care setting. Developing policy for internal purposes can be a valuable process toward quality and safety improvement, as well as ensuring compliance with various health care regulatory pressures. This assessment offers you an opportunity to take the lead in proposing such changes.
Instructions
Propose an organizational policy and practice guidelines that you believe will lead to an improvement in quality and performance associated with the benchmark underperformance you advocated for improving in Assessment 1. Be precise, professional, and persuasive in demonstrating the merit of your proposed actions.
Requirements
The policy proposal requirements outlined below correspond to the scoring guide criteria, so be sure to address each main point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. In addition, be sure to note the requirements for document format and length and for supporting evidence.
- Explain the need for creating a policy and practice guidelines to address a shortfall in meeting a benchmark metric prescribed by local, state, or federal health care policies or laws.
- What is the current benchmark for the organization and the numeric score for the underperformance?
- How is the benchmark underperformance potentially affecting the provision of quality care or the operations of the organization?
- What are the potential repercussions of not making any changes?
- What evidence supports your conclusions?
- Summarize your proposed organizational policy and practice guidelines.
- Identify applicable local, state, or federal health care policy or law that prescribes relevant performance benchmarks that your policy proposal addresses.
- Keep your audience in mind when creating this summary.
- Analyze the potential effects of environmental factors on your recommended practice guidelines.
- What regulatory considerations could affect your recommended guidelines?
- What resources could affect your recommended guidelines (staffing, financial, and logistical considerations, or support services)?
- Explain ethical, evidence-based practice guidelines to improve targeted benchmark performance and the impact the proposed changes will have on the targeted group.
- What does the evidence-based literature suggest are potential strategies to improve performance for your targeted benchmark?
- How would these strategies ensure performance improvement or compliance with applicable local, state, or federal health care policy or law?
- How can you ensure that these strategies are ethical and culturally inclusive in their application?
- What is the direct impact of these changes on the stakeholders’ work setting and job requirements?
- Explain why particular stakeholders and groups must be involved in further development and implementation of your proposed policy and practice guidelines.
- Why is it important to engage these stakeholders and groups?
- How can their participation produce a stronger policy and facilitate its implementation?
- Present strategies for collaborating with the stakeholder group to implement your proposed policy and practice guidelines.
- What role will the stakeholder group play in implementing your proposal?
- Why is the stakeholder group and their collaboration important for successful implementation?
- Organize content so ideas flow logically with smooth transitions.
- Proofread your proposal, before you submit it, to minimize errors that could distract readers and make it more difficult for them to focus on the substance of your proposal.
- Use paraphrasing and summarization to represent ideas from external sources.
- Be sure to apply correct APA formatting to source citations and references.
Policy Proposal Format and Length
It may be helpful to use a template or format for your proposal that is used in your current organization. The risk management or quality department could be a good resource for finding an appropriate template or format. If you are not currently in practice, or your organization does not have these resources, many appropriate templates are freely available on the Internet.
Your policy should be succinct (about one paragraph). Overall, your proposal should be 4–6 pages in length.
Supporting Evidence
Cite 3–5 references to relevant research, case studies, or best practices to support your analysis and recommendations.
