you could look at propaganda posters from the wars or if you're really lazy, you could use a story from today tonight or a current affair

Your texts don't have to relate to the media - that's not what the course is on. It's all about how truth is represented, Frontline just happens to use the media to explore this.

How many related texts are recommended for this module? I know it usually says at least one, but it says that for the AoS too but ive heard it is advisable to use two for the AoS.

So should we write about 1 or 2 related texts for frontline?

It's all about what you thionk you can do well. Yes, it is good to have more than one related for the AoS but only if you cover them both well. It is better to use one good text than do do a rush job on several. Also with AoS you have to talk about your set text plus one from the stumulus booklet plus your own, making 3. 3 is a good number. So with frontline you should have 2 other texts making a total of 3 for your essay. Do more if you want but just as long as you cover them well.

Try using a combination, i used another documentary "Fineline- Maxine Mckew" and a recent media article. Gives you a variety but they're still strong things to use for truth in the media

It is a good idea to use 2 or more if you think you can write more in the time frame your given to write the essay. But generally 2 is a good idea.

I had to do an assessment today and I used two ORTs and 2-3 episodes of frontline. It worked fairly well for me.
My ORTs were a propaganda speech from WW2 and an article from Woman's Day entitled 'Paris's Jail Nightmare.' They both related fairly well to the theme of the essay and I was able to relate them back to frontline aswell which was good. It's good to be able to make connections between the texts.
