And my narcissistic self.
McQuail (1994:49-55) identifies four concepts of communication in contemporary Western culture:1. sending and receiving messages (transmission);
2. forming and maintaining communities (ritual);
3. showing off oneself and one's wares (display); and
4. making sense of the world around us (reception).Select either a locally-produced radio or television station, a newspaper, an Internet website and analyze the extent to which it manifests each of McQuail's four concepts, providing examples from your chosen media text.
From your analysis of the media text, assess how useful McQuail's theory of communication is to the media of non-Western cultures such as Singapore.

Minor Essay Assignment
CMNS1110 Introduction to Communication Studies
Ironic, isn't it, that I am completely robbed of time to churn out a few hundred words for a decent fanfiction and yet here I am, rushing to submit an essay of similar length to a proper chapter of Aki Kitsune.
After which, I still have (no thanks to CMNS1000 Introduction to Digital Communication) a website proposal to redo and a full website interface of at least 6 pages to create (excluding the splash page), complete with original graphics (ie. me slaving away on Photoshop), literary content and the whole HTML coding (ie. more slaving away in front of my laptop). Which is also entirely ironic, when I have no time for with regards to my own website.
And that's not all.
Courtesy of CMNS1090 Introduction to Professional Writing, there's a character profile to do, meaning interviewing someone I hardly know (which I do have an idea of who to look for but am SO not free to plan for right now) plus a review to do on, which has been oh-so-kindly restricted to exclude movie, music album and book reviews.
Darn. And here I was, cackling away (inwardly) at all the sarcasm I can use to "review" Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series.
*Scowls*
Enough escapism. I should get back to writing that damn essay.
Ugh. Am not happy.
