The topic for my annotated bibliography is essentially \u201cThe evolution of food media and its relationship with the American household.\u201d \u00a0While this is a very broad topic, I do plan to narrow in on specific sects of subjects as my research progresses. I am wanting to explore how food media has evolved throughout history, while also including a comparison with food radio, food television and finally food on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n

While I first thought I would really focus a lot on food television, my research has brought me to find a lot of interesting articles about food on social media; continuing on, I want to develop more inquiries surrounding food on social media, including how review apps (such as Yelp), \u201cfoodies\u201d on Instagram, and YouTube had changed America\u2019s perception about food and the food eating\/making experience. Already I have found several articles that show the impact some of these sites have had on the food industry, including \u201c10 Years On: How Yelp Has Completely Transformed the Restaurant Industry<\/a>\u201d and \u201cThe Yelp Factor: Are Consumer Reviews Good for Business?\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

While social media has opened a lot of new avenues for me to venture into, I also want to explore food television and its relationship with the American household, moreover how America had influenced and changed food television. While this subtopic will explore content on television, I also want to compare and contrast modern \u201cfood celebrities\u201d with those from the beginning of food television and radio. From first glance it is clear that the content and personalities are vastly different between the era\u2019s, but I want to see if there is a reason or speculation as to what has caused those changes. So far I have found several helpful sites that discuss this topic such as, \u201cHow food television is changing America<\/a>\u201d and\u00a0 \u201cThe Evolution Of Food On TV.\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Overall my biggest complication is finding sources. While there are many articles I do have to sift through a lot of nonsense articles that don\u2019t give much reasoning or behind their claims. Is there a better way to do this other than just using Google? Also, because of the nature of my topic and subsequent subtopics, I am just struggling to narrow everything down into a cohesive argument. Are there any topics that seem more interesting from a readers perspective? My bibliography is going to cover a lot and is hopefully going to show how why food media is not only popular, but has constantly stayed relevant while so many other genres have died out. This bibliography is not just about food making but also the role food has on society, and vice versa.<\/span><\/p>\n
