EX 2: Newsworthiness in Historical Perspective

More details on this assignment as the deadline approaches. It will ask you to apply material from the textbook.

Rescheduled from Oct 1.

Choose an event described as newsworthy to a particular community in our textbook, and explored in some detail in the textbook. Select a current news story on a similar theme, and write a 2-page essay that examines the concept of newsworthiness, as reflected in each of your stories. Rather than working your way mechanically through each story, or working mechanically through a list of the kinds of ways stories can be newsworthy, focus on a small number of details -- or perhaps just one. Demonstrate your ability to note a trend and to draw a significant conclusion from your observations.

You are welcome to post your exercise in your blog, but you are not required to do so.
