Instructions (also attached as a .docx file) Please discuss how these two theories, SMCR Model and gatekeeping, apply well to traditional media, but not so much to new media. Explain why these concepts don’t apply so neatly to new media. Give some examples (websites, cable TV shows or new-media products) that support your explanations. Specifics: The paper should be at least three pages, double spaced. Divide the paper into three sections, each with a section heading: -Introduction: In one paragraph, briefly explain what the paper is about. This should include a thesis statement that explains the main argument of the paper in 1–2 sentences. -Media theories: This section is the “guts” of the report. State what SMCR model and gatekeeping are then explain how they apply to traditional media; then discuss why they do not apply so well to new media, with an example or two. -Summary: What can you conclude from your analysis? Is there something about new media, or about the way people use media today, that helps explain why “traditional media” theories don’t apply so well to new media? -In the paper, you must cite at least three different sources.
