that you have collected data, you are expected to present and
analyse/interpret the collected data. In this section, you are expected to
present and analyse your qualitative data in written format. Your
quantitative data should be presented in numerical form, that is, in tables
and graphs. Your presentation and analysis of the data should be linked to
your main research problem and subproblems. Whilst presenting your data,
you will be expected to attach evidence of data collection as an addendum
(See CMNALLE/301/2025 to learn how to attach an addendum). Attach some
interesting evidence to demonstrate what was happening in your selected
newspaper. Each of the four selected topics should consist of at least one
screenshot as supporting evidence. In addition to the newspaper cover page
which you attach to your assignment 01, we expect four additional addenda
that correspond to the topic in this section. The following topics should be
covered in your analysis. You need to select the four topics that correspond
to your four subproblems. You will lose marks if your topic of analysis does
not correspond to your subproblems. Go back to the feedback for the
assignment to select the subproblems that match your topic of analysis.
7.1 The leading sports stories in the (name of the newspaper) during the
(period of analysis) Newsrooms will often report a certain sports story over
several days because of its perceived importance. Read the selected daily
newspaper thoroughly in order to determine the leading sports stories during
the period of analysis. By reading through the sports stories, you may also
identify the common thread between related leading stories. Describe the
leading sports stories and justify why such sports stories were leading (what
was so important about such stories?). Do you think such sports stories
deserved to be leading stories during the period of analysis? (If not, which
other sports stories were more deserving?) What kind of frames were used to
present such stories? 12 Please note: Attach the evidence which shows the
leading sports story in your newspaper. No evidence = no marks.
7.2 The space occupied by sports stories in the (name of newspaper) in
relation to other themes The space occupied by sports stories may say
something about the importance of sports in that newspaper. You are
required to do some counting or measurement to determine how much
coverage is given to sports stories as compared to other themes. Use your
own discretion to categorise stories under various themes. For instance, you
may compare sports themes with other themes such as politics, economy,
arts, and so on. Present your findings in a graph or a chart and do the
analysis. Based on the space given to sports news, would you say that your
selected newspaper is predominantly a sports newspaper? Please note:
