Country Case Study: In this research essay, you will compare and contrast the status of dramatic serials from 2 countries. The assignment builds on the knowledge and depth you have built over the term. The comparison approach allows you a more complex understanding of the contexts of television program systems in general and of dramatic programs specifically. To tackle this assignment, chose 2 countries, not the USA. Consider the following items in a well organized essay:
Describe the level of economic development, languages spoken, age, gender and ethnic/cultural demographics, etc. of the chosen countries. What is your supporting evidence? What excellent sources are you drawing from?
Specify and describe who controls the media? Describe whether the media system is privately controlled by conglomerates, elite families, the government, or combinations of interests. What is your supporting evidence? What excellent sources are you drawing from?
Describe policies or laws that have impact on dramatic serial content and distribution. For example, do laws prohibit certain content? Do laws prohibit certain imports? What is your supporting evidence.
Describe policies or laws that have impact on dramatic serial viewing. For example, are certain TV shows illegal to own and watch? For example, can women and male viewers watch together in a public cafe? What is your supporting evidence? What excellent sources are you drawing from?
Name key media companies, organizations, and production companies that are involved in melodramatic television serial creation and production. Do these entities export the programs? What is your supporting evidence? What excellent sources are you drawing from?
Specify how dramatic television serials are available to the public (DVD, Internet, cable television, etc)? What is your supporting evidence? What excellent sources are you drawing from?
After you have gathered information from your countries, ask yourself: Why do the differences or similarities exist?
