Academic Essays
As a student of MA Global Media Communication at the University of Melbourne, I wrote many academic research essays. Some are linked below. Please click on any of the titles to be redirected to the paper.
This case study examines the role of Facebook’s personalised news feeds in creating “filter bubbles” or “echo chambers” and the negative impact it has on the public sphere.
This essay argues that, while a tension between user-empowerment and commercialisation exists with regards to user-generated content, the new forms of commercialisation are gaining more importance over user-empowerment. This argument is put forth using YouTube, its copyright policies and its multichannel networks.
Research Question
Are mothers in Indian television commercials portrayed as ‘superwoman’ or ‘supermom’ and is this image keeping up with the changes that the role of a mother has gone through over the years?
Research Method
A total of fifty-five television commercials uploaded on the official YouTube accounts of six brands – Bournvita, Horlicks (malt drink mixes), Surf Excel (laundry detergent), Ching’s Secret (ready-to-eat Chinese meals), Zandu Gel (pain relieving gel) and Nestle Maggi noodles (instant noodles) – were coded and analysed.
Results
The overall results indicate that mothers are featured in television commercials (in India) often and are frequently portrayed as a “superwoman.”
