The research paper is almost completed and written, just need some editing. It’s also only missing table on contents, abstract, and methodology section. Therefore, I just need
a bit of editing with 
feedback I will attached and will also need the other sections that are
missing. 
I have also attached an example of how it’s
supposed to look like. As well as the instructions. 
This is the feedback for the paper thats
alredy written which I will attached. 
“Your RQs look good to me. Your H! essentially poses the
same questions you asked in RQ 1 and 2, so you can remove it.
Try a different and more substantive title. You
could have discussed some more background information and key literature in
your Introduction. Because Tik Tok is new, you could have discussed different
types of advertisements within this platform. Because you have focused on Tik
Tok algorithms, you could have explained how it is different from other social
media platforms. You have repeated yourself—see whether you can reduce that.
Add more literature. Before discussing the Uses and Gratifications theory, show
relevance and provide context. You need to explain the theory more. I did not
see the relevance of this theory to your research. Later, when you put your
research questions, you referenced users’ motivation. You could have provided
additional context and relevance by providing more details of the uses and
gratifications theory. Some of your paragraphs are too short—see how you
combine thematically similar paragraphs. Delete the extra spaces in between
paragraphs.”

Impact of Technological Innovations in Broadcasting Industry: Examination of Technological Innovations in Broadcasting

In the field of Digital Hustle, where people seek and utilize the opportunities presented by the digital side of the world to gain economic value or pursue their goals. Understanding digital nomadism as portrayed on platforms like TikTok has significant importance. Digital nomadism is a lifestyle where people can work and travel at the same time, due to their set of skills. This lifestyle is fully linked to the spirit of Digital Hustle, where human beings seek to maximize their autonomy and flexibility in the chase of professional and personal goals. By exploring how TikTok portrays digital nomadism, we can gain knowledge into how this way of life is commodified, romanticized and seen by others in the digital space. 
The rise of digital nomadism, supported by many platforms like TikTok, shows us the sudden connection between globalization, technology and culture. In recent years digital nomadism became really popular among young individuals. Even with the popularity the topic lacks scholar research into how the concept interacts with neo-colonialist dynamics. Therefore, this research is done to fill in this gap by examining the TikTok model of the digital nomad lifestyle through the lens of neo-colonialism.  
This research will demonstrate that the digital nomadism movement tries to empower positive aspects of life, such as freedom and mobility. Nevertheless, accidentally may steer to the creation of power imbalances and cultural hegemony. However, I believe that these portrayals may lead to potential ways for challenging and unsettling neo-colonialism discourse. By accurately analyzing TikTok content, this study aims to shed light on the “hidden” power dynamics and cultural representations that shape the digital nomad discussion on the platform. Through this analysis, the research intends to show both the protraction of neo-colonialist ideologies and ways for resistance and destruction of the idea within digital spaces.
The theoretical framework for this research draws from critical postcolonial theory, cultural studies, and media studies. These theoretical angles provide a lens through which to look through and analyze the complex bond between digital nomadism and neo-colonial dynamics. Postcolonial theory offers insights into colonialism and imperialism, highlighting the ways in which relations of power and dominance can be still seen in contemporary society. Cultural studies provide tools for understanding how cultural practices and representations reflect and perpetuate power relations. Media studies give us the structure for analyzing the whole chain of production, distribution and posting of media content on the main topic.
The main concepts such as cultural appropriation, Othering, and the commodification of culture will be used as tools for analyzing the TikTok model of digital nomad and its connection to neo-colonialism. For example, in “Decolonizing Methodologies” by Linda Tuhiwai Smith, the concept of decolonising gives a structure to critically analyze the representation of marginalized groups “..the term ‘research’ is inextricably linked to European imperialism and colonialism… When mentioned in many indigenous contexts, it stirs up silence, it conjures up bad memories, it raises a smile that is knowing and distrustful.” This ideas and concepts will be used to understand and challenge the connection of digital nomadism and neo-colonialism.(2012, 1)
Similarly, in “Empire of Signs” by Roland Barthes, the idea of semiotics and the construction of meaning in cultural texts will be used to deconstruct the visual and textual elements seen in TikTok videos, uncovering underlying power dynamics and ideologies. (1983)
This research will acquire a qualitative approach, by analyzing visual content of TikTok featuring digital nomad topics. A data set of TikTok videos will be selected based on relevant hashtags such as #digitalnomad, #travel and #digitalnomadism. These videos will be analyzed for patterns and discourses around digital nomadism. Therefore, to see how power relations are built and discussed within the Digital Nomad community.
Moreover surveys via email may be done with digital nomads that creat content on TikTok. This will be done to get insights into their experience and opinions, enabling us to understand the topic more broadly. Additionally, comment observation of digital nomad communities on TikTok may provide valuable insights into the experiences of individuals working on and producing digital nomad content.
Overall, this research is done to provide a large-scale exploration of how TikTok’s portrayal of digital nomad connects with neo-colonialist dynamics, giving knowledge into the potential for both perpetuation and resistance within digital spaces. Exploring neo-colonial dynamics through TikTok’s model of digital nomadism is important within the context of Digital Hustle, as it sheds light on the mutuality of technology, globalization, and cultural representation. By understanding how digital nomadism is constructed and perceived within digital spaces, we can build strategies and initiatives that promote ethical engagement, non-biased behavior and empowerment within the digital economy.

Here is the research plan with some refferences, but you can also use the other ones if you want 

Brief: Choose ONE of the questions below, and drawing on relevant academic literature, conduct an original analysis on your chosen example of political communication in an essay of no more than 1,200 words.
The introduction should briefly outline the specific piece of political communication that you are analysing, and the sample you have chosen, e.g. which scandal, which specific newspapers, within what date-range.  
The analysis should draw on reading from the reading lists for the relevant topics in order to explain the analytical concept(s) that you will use (e.g. populism, the protest paradigm, etc.).  You may also use more specific academic texts found through NUsearch, but your analysis of the political communication case study must be your own original work.
If analysing a sample of press coverage, please use the Nexis database to identify a coherent but manageable sample of newspaper articles (around 7-15 articles, depending on length).  I have given you some hints about how you might do that in the notes on the relevant questions.  Please see Moodle for further details of how to use Nexis.  
Your analysis should make relevant observations of your chosen piece of communication, including evidence (brief quotes, references to specific news articles and/or webpages) that allow you to answer the question set.  
1. Political publics
Choose one press release from Extinction Rebellion’s press page* and compare it with coverage in at least one right/conservative newspaper (e.g. Daily Mail, Times, Telegraph) and one left/liberal newspaper (e.g. Guardian, Independent, Mirror)**.  How do they compare in their presentation of cause and tactics, and accordance with the protest paradigm?
* You may choose a different protest movement press page with the approval of the module convener, and if located in another country the relevant newspapers
**Please choose comparable newspapers – i.e. two tabloids or two quality/broadsheet newspapers
2. Persuasion and deliberation
Analyse a recent broadcast* or parliamentary (or equivalent, e.g. congressional in the US) debate to assess the extent to which it uses deliberative or plebiscitary the argumentation.  
* E.g. UK examples include the Conservative party leadership election debates, an episode of BBC Question Time, BBC Radio 4 Any Questions, or perhaps an episode of The Moral Maze or Across the Red Line that focuses on a broadly political question.  Consult the module convenor if you are unsure whether your chosen example is appropriate. 
3. Personalisation, populism and celebrity politics
Analyse EITHER one recent substantial speech by a populist political figure (a full transcript) OR one social media account of a populist leader (at least 20 recent posts).  Explain why you define that figure as a populist and identify the populist tropes in their communication.  Evaluate the significance of this populist communication within the national politics of their country.  
4. Contested truth claims
Analyse a fact-checking or OSINT verification* assessment of a political claim and compare its use of evidence and interpretation to mainstream news reporting of the claim.  
* E.g. Full Fact (UK), Channel 4 News (UK), Politifacts (US), BBC Verify, or Bellingcat.
5. Scandal, truth and trust
Analyse one recent mediated political scandal in terms of themes from the literature.  How did the news media justify the story’s political significance in relation to the public interest or morality, and to what extent did the accused manage to resist or deflect public opprobrium? 
6. Human interest
Analyse the use of personal narratives and emotion in communication of the Post Office Horizon IT scandal*.  Compared to more ‘objective’ accounts of the controversy, how effectively do they convey the political significance of the events?

Topic: “The Critical Need for Ethical Guidelines in AI Development”
Persuasive speech topics should be persuasive in nature and seek to convince, sway, change minds, and offer proof or perspective of your opinion. 
speech will need to be around 3:00 minutes. You will have to memorize and say this speech to the class.
