Discuss the results i.e. meaningful aspects of your everyday media practices as they emerged from Open-Coding and Focus-Coding. This will mean you identify and discuss themes that emerge from your coding.
Discussion [400-600 words] – Conduct a literature review of related media practices and integrate the concepts from your literature review with your media diary analysis. Include 3-4 peer-reviewed sources in your literature review. This would likely work well to be organized into 2-3 themes that emerged from your research. Have your sources and results in conversation with each other, so the sources help make sense of your results.
