There should be past research in databases about CCTV censorship that the student could have cited in his historical analysis and, therefore, not be held accountable for establishing his own observations; however, why must the thesis have historical reflection about censorship when the issue is audience analysis? For example in the Asian Journal of Communication, Elaine Yuan 's research titled "Measuring diversity of exposure in Guangzhou’s television market" (2008, vol.18 issue 2) provides incredible quantitative research about audience analysis and does not venture toward censorship.

]]> Comment on A call for best practices by Gregg Morris http://blogs.spjnetwork.org/jed/2011/02/20/a-call-for-best-practices/comment-page-1/#comment-5 Gregg Morris Thu, 31 Mar 2011 12:10:59 +0000 http://blogs.spjnetwork.org/jed/?p=83#comment-5 I love what you're doing. I've been experimenting with requiring my students to take descriptive notes of their subway commutes to campus over a period of several weeks. At the end of the semester, they are required to turn in a narrative based on their notes and are encouraged to submit pictures, all to be published in hunterword.com. I'm still tweaking. I'm not comfortable with anonymity. Because of a limited J-program, I require that the narratives be published for them to beef up their portfolios. I get mixed results. Narratives either soar or crash, there is little in between. Crash because they don't like the assignment. Anyway, I'm still tweaking to get better class participation. I love what you’re doing.
