      A2. Extended Abstract

      Word Count: 300 (does not include references)

      Write an abstract that could be used for an academic conference about diversity and the representation of otherness in New Zealand’s news media.

      Suggested steps:

      1. Chose a minority group to look at. It is highly recommended that you limit your research to matters of gender and ethnicity, e.g. Women, Maori, or Chinese.

      2. Chose one print publication to focus on. Ideally, you will use a major metropolitan daily, e.g. the New Zealand Herald.

      3. Chose one limitation: (a) close analysis of 10+ articles that are all about one developing story. The “story” (that the 10+articles talk about) must focus on or afford significant attention to the otherness you have chosen to study, (b) cover-to-cover analysis (excluding inserts) for two weeks.

      Requirements:

      You must include a title for the research/abstract. See other Journalism Studies abstracts for acceptable examples.
      You must include between 4 and 6 keywords that accurately summarize the essence of the project and would help other researchers find your work in a database.
      You must also prepare one slide or graphic that you would use at the conference that illustrates your key findings. Your slide or graphic can be included in the same document after the references section. It is not included in your word count.
      Your writing must conform to the normative standards and requirements for academic writing.
      Your abstract must be informative AND contain at least your research topic, research question(s), participants, methods, results, data analysis, and conclusions. You may also include possible implications of your research and future work you see connected with your findings.
      Unlike ‘normal’ abstract you must use and include in-text references and a ‘References’ section. Your references section is not part of the word count.

      Notes:

      Don’t be fooled. This is much harder than it may first appear. An abstract requires some of the highest degrees of economy and precision in writing—EVERY word counts.
      Writing an abstract also presupposes that you really know what you are talking about. In this case it means that you will need to have undertaken an extensive program of research and probably written it up to at least first draft stage (if not further).
