Step-by-step explanation:

An essay is an academical paper in which you are asked to write the main claim or thesis statement which expresses your position about something and prove to the reader or possible audience this claim or statement is valid and true by providing supporting details. In the case of media assessment essays, you are asked to evaluate or assess critically some media element such as one advertising or one piece of news and support your position as any other essay. This implies, for writing this essay you will need to think about your position or main claim and then look for the information or details that allow you to show your position is valid including reasons, facts, statistics or studies as without these details you will not have enough material to write and defend your position.

Thus, before writing a media assessment essay it is necessary to find strong supporting details to prove your point as these details are the ones that allow you to develop your position which is main the purpose of an essay.
