Based on the google slides attached follow the directions below:
Basic requirements make sure to address every point on this list
boil it down to i) the big picture problem or topic, ii) what we know about it as well as any gaps
you may have identified, and iii) your contribution, including your less formally formulated
thesis statement.
you looked at (people and contexts) and what you analyzed more specifically (observable elements
in communication). Certain technicalities not central to your analysis can be omitted as long as
it does not interfere with the overall understanding.
anything visual and easily recognizable for a non-initiated reader who wants to learn about the
topic quickly. Examples must be introduced clearly and form a logical narration (you may choose
to narrow down the scope and present only the most relevant examples).
larger phenomenon. Be realistic about what your findings tell us (not by extreme hedging, but
by being careful in assessing what your results suggest).
2. Visuals and blog-like adaptations
numbered and include captions explaining what we see in each picture or tab without reading
the rest of the article (e.g., what does axis X represent, what are the units of measurement, or
simply “Table/Figure 1: Genders of spaceship crew members in popular TV series”).
something you mentioned in your article (especially if this is not the focal point of your
discussion but is relevant for the overall topic and potentially interesting for the reader).
Preferably not a reference to an article, but a link to something less formal, such as a TED talk,
another blog, a FB group, a podcast, an event, or even upcoming articles from your peers.
author information, ethics declaration (one sentence that states that all participants gave their
written permission, for example), extended data figures and tables, and acknowledgements.
3. Overall style
Once again, the priorities are academic content and accessible style. Avoid the patchwork of overly
academic paragraphs followed by an extremely casual style. Stick to one voice as much as possible.
