Mass Communication Final Year Topic: Shared Television and the Negotiation of Programme Choice

This Mass Communication final year project examines how adult co-viewers negotiate programme selection. It develops a bounded study using approved adult interviews and voluntary viewing diaries, with clear criteria for selecting and interpreting the evidence.

Why choose this project topic?

This topic gives you an observable problem: how adult co-viewers negotiate programme selection. Its evidence base of approved adult interviews and voluntary viewing diaries supports specific comparisons and a focused discussion of what the findings can and cannot explain.

What patterns and limitations emerge when investigating how adult co-viewers negotiate programme selection?

Choose the precise organisation, corpus or participant setting and a feasible period for studying how adult co-viewers negotiate programme selection; confirm access before naming it.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify observable indicators relevant to how adult co-viewers negotiate programme selection.
  2. 02Assemble an authorised evidence base from approved adult interviews and voluntary viewing diaries.
  3. 03Compare rotation rules, informal authority and compromises without recording household disputes.

A suggested research approach

Check access and define selection rules for approved adult interviews and voluntary viewing diaries. Compare rotation rules, informal authority and compromises without recording household disputes. 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 approved adult interviews and voluntary viewing diaries
  • A piloted coding or task protocol for how adult co-viewers negotiate programme selection
  • Secure data handling, source-attribution records and any required participant permissions

Keep your project scope clear

A qualitative sample cannot establish ratings or the behaviour of every household.
