COMM 436/636: Issues, History of the Mass Media Instructor: Ross Collins Writing your historical term paper II. Writing Historical Research In writing mass media history (and all history), a writer needs to consider three aspects: facts. interpretation. narrative. Without these three, there's no real history being written. For instance, without facts you might write a novel. Fiction is interesting and readable, but it's not history. That's sometimes confusing to people who really believe the "docu-drama" format in movies, assuming they can make up their mind about something that happened in the past after seeing, say, "Dances With Wolves" or "Amadeus." You may get a flavor of the times, but beyond that, truth and fiction mingle. As well, without interpretation you have, at the least, a timetable of events. At most you have what much genealogy is today: a description of who did what and when, but no explanation of how it relates to a larger world. Interpretation answers the "so what" question of history: so your grandfather worked as a typesetter in the 1920s. What does it mean to the development of American newspapers in society? The narrative is the story you tell. It ought to be well-written and compelling, and not clumsy and dusty. In history, perhaps more than in any other discipline except English, how you present your material is as important as what you present. All the more so as we study mass media history here. Communication study emphasizes quality in written and spoken communication.

The Writing of a Historical Essay or Research Paper Whether you are writing an in-class essay exam or a 20-page research paper, there are some basic guidelines which you should keep in mind. The first part of this handout gives general information which is relevant to the writing of any historical essay. The second part gives tips which you should utilize in writing take-home essays, exams, and research papers. Writing an Essay An essay is not simply a list of facts. You must organize the facts into themes which support a central argument or thesis. This thesis should be introduced in the beginning of the paper and developed throughout the paper one step at a time. The stronger your thesis, the easier it will be for you to develop a strong argument. Use an outline to organize your thoughts in a clear, coherent and logical manner and to guide you in writing the essay. Organizationally, the essay has three main parts: Introduction . Use the introduction to state your thesis, outline the main points you will make in the essay, and describe the conclusions which you will draw in the essay. History essays are not mystery papers; the reader should know from the beginning what your conclusions are. Use the introduction to draw the reader into the essay. Often it is easier to write your introduction last , after you clearly know what arguments you develop in the essay.

RESEARCH!!!!! Okay, before you all groan, research can be sooooo much fun! Truly. I mean,you get to go virtual shopping for fabulous gowns and accessories, furniture, fancy townhouses, country estates, carriages....you get my drift! Currently, I'm researching, and shopping for my new series coming out with Harlequin Spice. (The release is a bit away~Feb 2011) Anyhoo, I'm having fun. And with an unlimited budget, the sky is the limit! The period I'm researching is the late Georgian era, approx 1790's. I like the gowns of that period, plus it's the era where the Gothic was slowly making it's comeback. Now, not to the extent that it did in the Victorian era, but it was there. I like pretty things, but I also like dark, gothic tones as well. So, I'm 'shopping' in both venues. I'm having a blast outfitting my heroines, and picking out their houses. My heroes...well, that's something a bit different. Wigs and powder were out at this time (thank the heavens) but lace cuffs and ruffly, lacey jabots were still the rage for men. There's a challenge there, making a man masculine and virile while wearing lace and ruffles!!! But, I like the look for these men, because they are Dark Fey princes from the Unseelie Court. Frock coats with brocades and braid, with lace cuffs seems to go hand in hand with the Fey.

14. Conversation With Olli Rehn, P. 5 Of 7 In my view, we should rather deal with these matters by methods of critical history writing, historical research, rather than policy investigations, especially if these http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people3/Rehn/rehn-con5.html

Olli Rehn Interview : Conversations with History; Institute of International Studies, UC Berkeley Page 5 of 7 Navigating Change in Domestic Politics What are the problems for Finnish politics in making this rather amazing leap as a small state adjacent to one of the superpowers during the Cold War and this has all happened in the last decade to a present situation, where your major reference point is the European Union? What difficulties has that created for a democracy like Finland? I would say that one question is that the Finns were rather satisfied with the outcome of their neutrality policy of the 1960s and '70s and '80s. And partly, understandably, because Finland was not a member of NATO and there was no security shield from the U.S. or from Western Europe for Finland, which means that at the end of the day Finland was alone with the Soviet Union. We had to deal with the Soviet Union somehow. I think, by and large, Finland succeeded rather well in that regard; but at the same time, it led many to believe that the sort of mutilated policies of staying out of difficulties of the outer world is a viable policy position in the longer term. I don't think it is. I think Finland is part of the globalizing community, international community, and we have to participate actively in its decision-making and give our own contribution. Recently in Finland you've had something of a "spy scandal" in the reconstruction of memories or partial truths with regard to who did what during an earlier period. My superficial reading of newspaper articles on that suggest that old history can become a factor in the manipulation of democratic politics. Is that a fair assessment? Would you agree with that?
