Add a population, specific type of media, social situation
or profession to make your topic more narrow or unique!
26. Refining your topic
1. Your population group should be
common across articles. For
example: same age group, same
relationship type, same social situation.
2. Stay away from countries that
don’t have similar cultures to the
USA. Avoid countries in Asia, Africa,
Middle East or Developing countries. Use
countries with similar social norms and
freedoms.
27. Refining your topic
3. Baby steps: don’t be too complex!
4. Don’t be too generic! Narrow by
relationship, population, gender,
type of communication or media
5. If your topic has a lot published
about it think of an unexplored
angle.
