Bibliography

As you gather the sources for your Wikipedia contribution, think about the following:

Is the source from a reliable publication?
- Reliable publications include established newspapers, academic journals and books, textbooks, and other published sources with reputations for accuracy and fact-checking.
- Unreliable sources include blog posts and other self-published works, press releases, and social media posts.
Is the source verifiable?
- In order for a source to be considered verifiable, other editors should be able to consult the source.
Is the source independent of the subject?
- Is the source connected in any way to the subject? This is especially important when writing biographies or about organizations.
- For example, if you were writing a biography, sources like the person's webpage or personal blog would not be considered independent.
Is the source primary or secondary?
- Primary sources include first-hand accounts, autobiographies, and other original content.
- Wikipedia allows limited use of primary sources, but typically only for straightforward, descriptive statements of facts, and only if they are published and verifiable without requiring specialized knowledge.
- Secondary sources should be the main basis for a biography on Wikipedia.
If you're working on a topic related to medicine or psychology, ensure that your sources follow these special guidelines.
If you're creating a new article, consider the following:
- Ensure that your topic meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
- In order for a topic to meet the notability requirement, you must be able to identify 2-3 sources that are reliable, verifiable, and independent of the subject you're writing about.
- Finding sufficient sources to establish notability can be especially hard when writing about people or organizations.
- Sources that are not independent of the subject might be useful additions, but don't count towards the notability requirement.
- Wikipedia has developed special guidelines for writing about living persons. Please follow these carefully.
- Wikipedia has a series of guidelines for writing about different categories of people, such as academics and artists. If you're trying to create a new entry about a living person, please look at these carefully.

If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, ask a librarian! If you have questions about Wikipedia's sourcing rules, you can use the Get Help button below to contact your Wikipedia Expert.

Bibliography[edit]

Edit this section to compile the bibliography for your Wikipedia assignment. Add the name and/or notes about what each source covers, then use the "Cite" button to generate the citation for that source.

Cody, F. (2023). The news event : popular sovereignty in the age of deep mediatization. The University of Chicago Press.
- This book covers the mediatization of the news, of defamation, of laws, and of celebrities.
Comer, J. (2022). Discourses of Global Queer Mobility and the Mediatization of Equality. Taylor & Francis.
- This book touches on the topic of mediatization in regards to the LGBTQIA+ community; an aspect that is not touched on in the current wiki article.
Frandsen, Kirsten. (2020). Sport and Mediatization. Routledge
- This book is an in-depth look at sports and its shift to the digital realm.
Frostenson, M., & Grafström, M. (2022). Mediatisation and the construction of what is morally right and wrong in contemporary business. Media, Culture & Society, 44(3), 532-548. https://doi.org/10.1177/01634437211048369
- This book is concerned with the topic of mediatization and morales
Leong, P. P. Y. (2021). Digital mediatization and the sharpening of Malaysian political contests. ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. https://doi.org/10.1355/9789814951883
- This book speaks on the possible effects mediatization can have on politics.
Neubauer, T. (2023). Mediatization of the O.J. Simpson Case : From Reality Television to Filmic Adaptation. transcript Verlag.
- This book touches on mediatization and controversy-- a subheading I believe would be a good addition to this wiki article.
Toni G. L. A. van der Meer, Anne C. Kroon, Piet Verhoeven & Jeroen Jonkman (2019) Mediatization and the Disproportionate Attention to Negative News, Journalism Studies, 20:6, 783-803, DOI: 10.1080/1461670X.2018.1423632
- This academic journal piece covers the topic of the mediaitization of negative news, which I believe would help strengthen the "Crime, Disaster, and Fear" section within the current version of the wiki article.

Examples:

Luke, Learie. 2007. Identity and secession in the Caribbean: Tobago versus Trinidad, 1889–1980 Kingston, Jamaica: University of the West Indies Press.
- This is a book published by a university press, so it should be a reliable source. It also covers the topic in some depth, so it's helpful in establishing notability.
Galeano, Gloria; Bernal, Rodrigo (2013-11-08). "Sabinaria , a new genus of palms (Cryosophileae, Coryphoideae, Arecaceae) from the Colombia-Panama border". Phytotaxa.
- This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, so it should be a reliable source. It covers the topic in some depth, so it's helpful in establishing notability.
Baker, William J.; Dransfield, John (2016). "Beyond Genera Palmarum: progress and prospects in palm systematics". Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.
- This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, so it should be a reliable source for a specific fact. Since it only dedicates a few sentences to the topic, it can't be used to establish notability.

Outline of proposed changes[edit]

Scan the article for spelling/grammar mistakes and correct them
See if I can link any existing wiki articles to Mediatization (ex: there are links to wiki pages about Marshall McLuhan and Ernest Manheim but not Kent Asp in the 'Origins' section)
Add photos to the wiki article
I will ensure all of the article's current citation links are active and link back to the correct source
There's a content gap for controversy and mediatization that I wish to add to by using information I find in Mediatization of the O.J. Simpson Case : From Reality Television to Filmic Adaptation
The mediatization of morality would be an interesting topics to include under the 'Sociocultural change' section of the article. I would do this by using information found in the books Mediatisation and the construction of what is morally right and wrong in contemporary business. Media, Culture & Society and The news event : popular sovereignty in the age of deep mediatization.
There's a content gap for the topic of LGBTQIA+ mediatization. I hope to fix this by using information found in Discourses of Global Queer Mobility and the Mediatization of Equality.

Now that you have compiled a bibliography, it's time to plan out how you'll improve your assigned article.

In this section, write up a concise outline of how the sources you've identified will add relevant information to your chosen article. Be sure to discuss what content gap your additions tackle and how these additions will improve the article's quality.

Consider other changes you'll make to the article, including possible deletions of irrelevant, outdated, or incorrect information, restructuring of the article to improve its readability or any other change you plan on making. This is your chance to really think about how your proposed additions will improve your chosen article and to vet your sources even further.

Note: This is not a draft. This is an outline/plan where you can think about how the sources you've identified will fill in a content gap.
