Research Paper Documenting the Media Revolution We are in a time when the mass media is redefining itself at a speed and depth unmatched in human history. Basic definitions of various long-established mass media are rapidly evolving to include digital formats that would have seemed the stuff of science fiction a few years ago. Furthermore, as mass media becomes more pervasive and powerful, its impact on individuals and the larger society have become topics of scholarly research. Your paper will be written about one of the mass media topics listed below. Choose a topic that interests you and for which you can find a variety of high quality sources. This paper will be an analysis based upon your research. Research the four questions as they pertain to your research topic. Divide your paper into six segments: A. Introduction, B. Answer to Question 1 C. Answer to Question 2 D. Answer to Question 3 E. Answer to Question 4 F. Conclusion Find credible sources to research your answers. You will be graded on the quantity and quality of your sources, and how well you use them in your text. Cite your sources, MLA style, as you use them in the text. Be sure to use full MLA-style citation information in your works cited section. Students who merely provide a list of web addresses will be marked down. Length: Around 1500 words (plus works cited section). #more sources are better than fewer sources Research * higher quality sources are betterman lower quality The depth and quality of your research matters. Citing your textbook or what is said during class really isn't impressive in a college research paper. Your research should branch out beyond the classroom and the textbook. Dictionaries and encyclopedias (including Wikipedia) have some value as background information, but should not be cited as sources in the text. Be careful about using web sites as sources, many of them are not credible. If you cannot clearly state who is the writer of the material on the web site and what qualifies that person or persons to be an authority on the subject, then you probably do not have a credible source. There is no "correct” opinion about any of the research topics. Whatever your topic and your opinion on it, make sure that you find credible sources that support your case. Remember: (1) more sources are better than fewer, (2) high-quality sources are better than low-quality sources, and (3) cited sources that clearly enhance your paper are better than sources that make no apparent impact on the text. 2. The End of Privacy? 2.1 What does scholarly research have to say about the power of the Internet and other media to erode or eliminate personal privacy? 2.2 Who is invading our privacy?

The Media Revolution and the End of Privacy
I. Introduction
As contemporary America, we have come to the end of privacy. Starting with the
telegraph, followed by the telephone, fax machines, computers, laptops, the internet,
smartphones, and video surveillance, insidiously, we have welcomed small concessions that have
compromised our privacy. We have signed away privileges and rights that generations before us
fought for, undermining our characters in the process. We have come to terms with the reality
that the majority of our social and financial interactions take place over the World Wide Web
and that someone, somewhere, is tracking our every move. Entailed in this paper is a discussion
of what scholarly research says about the power of media and the internet to erode and eliminate
personal privacy, and a discussion of who is eroding our privacy. Also discussed is how “The
Internet of Things” has the potential to further erode our privacy and a prediction of what
privacies are most endangered and what can be done about it.
II. Discussion
According to Warren and Brandies, privacy is the “right to be let alone” (1). On the other
hand, information privacy refers to the control of the use, transmission, and circulation of
personal information (Culnan 344). Invasion of privacy occurs when an individual cannot
maintain or control their personal information. The advancement of the internet, along with the
technological advancements, has caused users to raise concerns about their privacy why they are

online. The internet facilitates the inexpensive and efficient collection of information without
users’ consent. The internet can track users in extraordinary ways whether users are aware of it
or not. This includes users’ interests, preference, and credit card information. According to the
