The task is to select an article from the Media it may be a transcript from a radio or TV program. It may also be a news item found in the newspapers or magazines.
Editorials in academic journals or articles from academic journals are not media items nor are web sites.
Utilise a variety of sources in order to assess the breadth and depth of the issue. Using only one source may result is a biased account of the issue.
Please note material including cartoons, posters, health promotion YouTube clips, or academic journal articles and government publications are not media items unless they are discussed and cited as a media release or news item
Hot link the reference to the media item in the body of the text
Summarise key issue(s) in the media material collected

Examples of Assignment 3
These examples should give you an idea of how you may approach this assignment:
Example1_HEA230_Assignment3_2015.pdf
Example2_HEA230_Assign3_2015.pdf
You may wish to browse through these two references for ideas on why we look at the media in a health unit.
Germov, J., & Freij. M. (2013). Media and health: moral panics, miracles, and medicalisation. In J. Germov (Ed.), Second opinion: introduction to health sociology (5th ed.). (pp.337-355). South Melbourne, Vic: Oxford University Press.
Willis, K., & Elmer, S. (2011). Society, culture and health an introduction to sociology for nurses. (2nd ed.). (pp45-65). South Melbourne, Vic: Oxford University Press.
It is expected that at least 50% of your reference list should comprise resources from the HEA 230 Modules . That means if you have 10 references in your assignment reference list than 5 should be from the reference lists contained in the HEA230 Modules (Set readings or other references utilised in the learning materials). Please note at the end of each module in the Learning Materials there is an extensive list of references.
I hope that this requirement will be to your advantage as it is noted that in Assessment 1 that some people relied on other resources (non HEA 230) and use of inappropriate web sites. By utilising HEA 230 resources one is assured up to date and quality publications.
