Topic:

Waisbord (2015) proposes cosmopolitanism, not area studies, can further “de-Westernize” media studies. What evidence does your research find to support her claim?

Conduct comparative studies of non-Western cases. Explicit comparisons of news coverage of media and politics across two countries(South Korea and Thailand) to explain differences and similarities. Comparison of two countries’ news is the most important part!!!

You must compare same type of news but reported in two different countries(South Korea and Thailand). Eg: Coronavirus(same topic in two different countries) or the specific coronavirus case reported by two different countries. But we can not write Coronavirus in this assignment.

Tips for Posters

Tell readers why your work matters, what you did, what you found, and what you recommend. Avoid excessive focus on methods – it’s the results and implications that count!

Overall appearance. Use a pleasing arrangement of graphics, text, colours. Your poster should be neat and uncluttered – use white space to help organise sections. Balance the placement of text and figures.

Organisation. Use the headings to help readers find what they’re looking for: Context, objective, impact, conclusions, etc. A columnar format helps traffic flow in a crowded poster session.

Minimize text – use graphics. Keep text in blocks of no more than 50-75 words – don’t create large, monolithic paragraphs of prose.

Use colour cautiously. Dark letters on light background are easiest to read. Stick to a theme of 2-3 colours. Avoid overly bright colours.

Don’t fight reader gravity, which pulls the eyes from top to bottom (first), and left to right.

Prepare a verbal explanation. Have a talking point. Give the big picture, explain why the problem is important, and use the graphics on your poster to illustrate and support your findings and recommendations.
