Research Gap:

There would be a theoretical gap in my research because new insights could be generated if the effect of fallacies in journalism was covered. Fallacies can impact the way journalists write their articles in order to persuade the public with their viewpoints. When fallacies are used in this way, it also creates distrust between the public and the news organization, which is why this could be beneficial to cover. This could further be researched to see how it is breaking the trust, how often it is used, and the most frequently used fallacies. However, this was not an option to research within my timeline.

    Hi Alyssa,
    I think that this research gap is great for your project. You are able to clearly define it, and now it can help guide your research in an effective manner. I am excited to see how the rest of your research turns out!

     So far, my research proposal is coming along smoothly. I have finished my revisions based on the feedback provided in the literature review. I have almost finished the section on the research design and methods, but I am waiting until my meeting with the professor before I finish it. I also plan on visiting the writing center to have someone read through my research proposal to fix any grammatical mistakes. My revisions for the research proposal are starting to help me shape my final draft.

Blog Post #5

 Hello! This will be the final blog post of the semester. I have learned more about the different methods that go along with a sound research study. Part of this was realizing the different aspects of both qualitative and quantitative studies. I also learned that there is a lot of work that goes into a research proposal before the actual research takes place in order to ensure preparedness is met. Additionally, I learned about the necessity of IRB approval, which is something I did not know much about prior to this class. These processes have taught me that creating a research proposal is fun, even though it is very time-consuming. I also learned that my skills as a technical writer can be applied to other aspects, as seen through the combination of visual rhetoric and journalism in my proposal.
