After making little headway with my recycling topic and also having little luck finding sources for my television-intelligence correlation, I've decided to pursue a new topic (although) still in relation to television. I'd like to examine televangelism and research the negative effects it has on the Protestant Christian religion as a whole. I feel televangelists, though popular in the room they are broadcasting from, are actually pushing people away from the faith instead of drawing them to it. I think the results of my research could be very interesting for the Protestant community.

Taylor,
I think televangelism could work as a topic. I think it would help to narrow your study beyond a claim of negative effects on the Protestant church, but we'll talk.

I agree. I have read that many pastors involved in televangelism are more concerned with their t.v. personality/popularity than the actually message. However, there are also men like Billy Graham who seem to be entirely sincere when preaching on television.
