To help you acknowledge the high degree of media exposure and the concept of multitasking, think about how many hours per day you spend on reading newspapers, reading magazines, listening to the radio, watching movies, watching television, surfing the Internet, playing video games, playing games on your cell phones.
Analyze your daily media consumption honestly and critically. Respond to the following questions in APA style:
- How would you describe your pattern of media consumption?
- What media activities do you spend the most time doing?
- What is the total number of hours you spend consuming media content?
- How many hours include multitasking?
- How does your time-consuming media compare to the time you spend doing other things such as sleeping, eating, and exercising?
- Do you feel that your media consumption takes time away from doing other “important” things, such as doing homework, chores, work, etc.?
- What conclusions can you reach about the sources and perspective of your media content?
- What potential biases could you be exposed to?
- What recommendations would you make to broaden your menu of media consumption?

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
