Based on the google slides attached follow the directions below:

Basic requirements make sure to address every point on this list

  • Length approx. 1000 1200 words (excl. abstract, examples, references and additional data).
  • Title: as catchy as you want it but has to be accurate (unlike tabloid headlines)
  • Abstract (150-200 words) a summary with a story hook.
  • Introduction and background probably shorter than in your submitted proposal. You can
  • 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.

  • Methods you do not need all the details to allow for an accurate replication, summarize what
  • 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.

  • Results/analysis summarize results and convert them into tabs, color-coded schemes, or
  • 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).

  • Discussion and conclusions discuss how your findings contribute to our understanding of a
  • larger phenomenon. Be realistic about what your findings tell us (not by extreme hedging, but

    by being careful in assessing what your results suggest).

  • References (both in-text citations and bibliography should follow APA style)
  • 2. Visuals and blog-like adaptations

  • Visuals: figures, charts, tables, snapshots of blogs or movie scenes. All inserted items must be
  • 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”).

  • Cross-referencing relevant info: links to other sources of information that illustrate or unpack
  • 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.

  • 3-5 keywords for your project: for example population/context, language(s), methods
  • Optional (not considered for grading): PowerPoint slides, further reading recommendations,
  • 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.
