 * Brad,

This is a very interesting topic, but also very broad. It will be difficult at a high level of generalization to talk accurately about trends. Especially with regard to mass media, it's fairly incontestable that for everything that is happening, its opposite is also happening. Media makes us smarter and dumber, for instance--both perspectives are quite substantiable. With that in mind, I'd encourage you to narrow your topic to the extent you feel reasonable. Consider cutting down on the historical stuff, newspapers and the like, and focusing more on so-called "new media" and those trends. Let me know what you think. All told, I think three smaller papers each 1,000-1,500 words would be ideal.
 * Best, Stevenarntson
