Remarks on previous assignment -
Hi Shruti, 
This is a really strong assignment, well done! Your introduction was really focused and it was great to see you so clearly articulate the objectives of this research. It was also great to see this clearly inform your annotated bibliography—the references you chose were very relevant and it was great to see you so clearly discuss how you will use them/how they fit into the context of your work. However, I did think that all of the sources you identified were quite recent—since you are approaching traditional media here, it could be worth investigating some of the more foundational theory based texts to further enhance your work. This would also help ensure that your literature review is appropriately balanced.
