Mass Communication Final Year Topic: Cross-Generational Accounts of Discovering New Music through Media

This Mass Communication final year project examines how adults of different ages describe discovering unfamiliar music. It develops a bounded study using consented adult interviews and voluntary non-sensitive discovery diaries, with clear criteria for selecting and interpreting the evidence.

Why choose this project topic?

This topic gives you an observable problem: how adults of different ages describe discovering unfamiliar music. Its evidence base of consented adult interviews and voluntary non-sensitive discovery diaries supports specific comparisons and a focused discussion of what the findings can and cannot explain.

What patterns and limitations emerge when investigating how adults of different ages describe discovering unfamiliar music?

Choose the precise organisation, corpus or participant setting and a feasible period for studying how adults of different ages describe discovering unfamiliar music; confirm access before naming it.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify observable indicators relevant to how adults of different ages describe discovering unfamiliar music.
  2. 02Assemble an authorised evidence base from consented adult interviews and voluntary non-sensitive discovery diaries.
  3. 03Compare channels, trusted recommenders and reasons for following a recommendation.

A suggested research approach

Check access and define selection rules for consented adult interviews and voluntary non-sensitive discovery diaries. Compare channels, trusted recommenders and reasons for following a recommendation. 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 consented adult interviews and voluntary non-sensitive discovery diaries
  • A piloted coding or task protocol for how adults of different ages describe discovering unfamiliar music
  • Secure data handling, source-attribution records and any required participant permissions

Keep your project scope clear

Age categories do not determine taste and reported discovery cannot establish listening-market shares.
