Source For Research Paper

I have pretty much decided that I will do the deflate gate as my topic for my research paper. The deflate gate is a scandal where people believe The New England Patriots deflated the balls in the game before the the Super Bowl to gain a competitive advantage. The New England Patriots ended up winning that game by a large margin and probably wouldn't have effected the results at all. After the semi final game the media made a huge deal about the deflate gate which really took away from what football is all about. The media should be focused on the final game of the year, but all the talk was about how The New England Patriots might have cheated their way in to the Super Bowl. I personally was looking for a source on how the media plays a huge part in any situation, and how the media can influence our perception. Media Influence and Body Image in 8-11- Year Old Boys and Girls: A Preliminary Report on the Multidimensional Media Influence Scale by Dale L. Cusumano and J. Kevin Thompson is one of my sources that I intend to use. This article basically states how the media can play an affect on the body image of young boys and girls and change their perception. The research shows that media pressure does really change the minds of others. This source can be useful for my own research paper because it expresses how the media can control the story and how the media can influence our perception.
