Question

POLI 1100 EC1
Assignment #1
50 Points

Over the next few weeks, I would like you to read and summarize 2 news articles, as follows:

1. Find a news article (of at least 5 paragraphs in length) from 2019 in two of the following areas:
a. National News- Foreign Affairs
b. National News- Domestic Affairs
c. State News
The article can be from a newspaper, news magazine or the website of a legitimate news source (state, local or national newspaper like the Advocate or Washington Post; a major media center such as CNN.com; a magazine such as U.S. News and World Report). Do not use a news source more than once-each article should come from a different news source. Make sure that your article is a news article and not an opinion article.
2. For each article, write an essay that contains the following:
a. One-paragraph that summarizes the news article;
b. One paragraph that indicates why you chose this article and why you think that it is significant.
c. Include a reference to the article in MLA form
3. Upload your essays in one document into canvas (you don’t have to upload the articles).
4. A couple of notes:
a. National News – Foreign Affairs – this category deals with the United States relationship with other countries. It should not include articles on Russian interference in the 2016 election (that is domestic affairs). You could use articles about the relationship of the U.S. between, North Korea, Iran, Israel or the U.K.
b. National News – Domestic Affairs: This should include news important to the nation as a whole; just because an article is not about Louisiana, does not mean that it is national news. News in this category would include 2016 election interference, the tax bill, economic policy, gun laws.
c. State News – Please find an article relevant to the entire state. Avoid articles about, say, isolated crime. We are in a special legislative session, so there should be numerous articles about this.
d. Use news articles only. Do not use opinion pieces.
e. Don’t over-complicate this project. Find news articles that you understand. If you don’t understand the article, pick a different article.

Answer 11

AP News is a good non profit that is independent thus their articles are typically simply news and not opinionated.

"e. Don’t over-complicate this project. Find news articles that you understand. If you don’t understand the article, pick a different article."

This is extremely key. Just do some research on topics that you're interested in and you'll come across something that you can write about. I can help you with the essay if you want as well.

Answer 12

Reuters is also another good non opinionated news source.

Answer 13

Ok, thank you

Answer 14

i can't find anything good to write. i have to work on something else because it's also due tomorrow

Answer 15

Write about something you're interested in. Can you name some topics that you're interested in?

Answer 16

From there, you can conduct a search. Let me see if I can find something that can help you in the mean time.

Answer 17

Answer 18

Answer 20

Here you go, there's a compilation of the most trustworthy news outlets by rank. So you can compile your list of Net Neutrality articles from those sites.

Answer 21

thank you.

Answer 22

You're most welcome.

Answer 23

Also, if you haven't studied Net Neutrality in a while and need to brush up on your knowledge, I recommend watching a video about it on YouTube and reading about it on Wikipedia, but do not write your article based on the Wikipedia content. Your teacher will probably be furious if you do.

Answer 24

yea, can someone please do it? this will be the only time. i promise

Answer 25

@MrMudd183 can someone do WHAT exactly?

Answer 26

YOU do it

Answer 27

I HAVE SOME OTHER PROJECT TO DO

Answer 28

I doubt if anyone else has time to help you with this. Other people are probably busy with projects of their own.

Answer 29

yea, but both of them are due tomorrow first thing in the morning

Answer 30

Well, looks like you have your greatest challenge for the day to complete. Pull an all-nighter and get it done because no one is going to do it for you. At least not for free.

Answer 31

i'm only 14. my parents make me go to bet before 11:00 PM CST

Answer 32

Don't use age as an excuse. There are students your age graduating from college.

Answer 33

yea, on the other side of the world

Answer 34

Answer 35

What usually follows a list of excuses for not doing something you're supposed to do is a TON of regret.

Answer 36

OK, I WILL
