Order Description
MAKE SURE YOU ANSWER THE ESSAY QUESTION
1-You need a conclusion that can summarise the key points you are making with the essay.
2- You need to make sure that you are answering the essay question. Just talking about one of the
wars, and then about the other is not really comparing the two. Think about characteristic features
which you can base your comparison on – journalists, censorship, access, military-media
relationship, etc.
3-Engagement with theory. You need Hallin’s spheres of influence when talking about Vietnam.
4- It will help your argument about Falklands if you mention that the media acted as a propaganda
tool for the government, but make sure you explain why.
5-You don’t need to compare and contrast the theories – just use the ones that are relevant.
