Your first priority is to choose a subject and make sure you read around the subject taking a note of what you are reading as you go so it can go in your bibliography. In order to reference properly, use the following system:

For a website: Author(s), (year of publication or last update). Title of page [type of medium]. Available: URL [accessed date]
e.g Brownlee & Cole (2010) Richard Hale Media Studies Blog, http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=4294163588413586593

For a book: Author(s), (year of publication), Title of the book, where it was published: who the publisher is
e.g. Lave, J. (1988) Cognition in Practice, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
You will find the information you need in the cover or first few pages of the book.

For a journal (e.g. Media Magazine): Author(s) of the article, (year of publication), Title of the article, Name of the Journal, issue the article is published in
e.g. Brownlee (2006) M&S Marketing, Media Magazine, Issue 2 February
