Journalism and Media Studies Final Year Topic: Economic News Graphs and the Disclosure of Scale Choices

This Journalism and Media Studies final year project examines how graph design communicates the size and context of economic change. It develops a bounded study using public news graphics and their cited datasets, with clear criteria for selecting and interpreting the evidence.

Why choose this project topic?

This topic gives you an observable problem: how graph design communicates the size and context of economic change. Its evidence base of public news graphics and their cited datasets supports specific comparisons and a focused discussion of what the findings can and cannot explain.

What patterns and limitations emerge when investigating how graph design communicates the size and context of economic change?

Choose the precise organisation, corpus or participant setting and a feasible period for studying how graph design communicates the size and context of economic change; confirm access before naming it.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify observable indicators relevant to how graph design communicates the size and context of economic change.
  2. 02Assemble an authorised evidence base from public news graphics and their cited datasets.
  3. 03Reconstruct bounded examples and compare axis ranges, baselines and units.

A suggested research approach

Check access and define selection rules for public news graphics and their cited datasets. Reconstruct bounded examples and compare axis ranges, baselines and units. Pilot the recording instrument, document exclusions and preserve contrary examples. Obtain required approvals before involving people or organisational records, and distinguish reported perceptions from independently observed behaviour.

What you will need

  • Lawful access to public news graphics and their cited datasets
  • A piloted coding or task protocol for how graph design communicates the size and context of economic change
  • Secure data handling, source-attribution records and any required participant permissions

Keep your project scope clear

The study does not predict economic outcomes or provide investment advice.
