For this assignment, you are expected to submit two things: 1. A completed graphic organizer
2. A completed follow-up questionnaire
Step 1: Prepare for the assignment.
a) Read through the guide before you begin so you know the expectations for this assignment.
b) If anything is not clear to you, ask your teacher for assistance.

Step 2: Select three global media outlets.
a) Choose media outlets that provide daily coverage. Monthly periodicals and journals are not a good choice for this assignment, but many weekly news magazines also have websites that provide more frequent reporting.
• Some examples of reliable global news outlets include the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the BBC, the Associated Press, and Reuters. Discuss your sources with your teacher if you have questions.
b) If you do not have daily access to the internet, discuss alternatives with your teacher.

Step 3: Begin monitoring coverage of one or two news events.
a) Use your graphic organizer to keep track of a news story as it unfolds across a period of time. Choose a story that is likely to have continuous coverage. For example, a breaking news item will probably have follow-up stories over the next week, while an in-depth profile of a writer or artist will probably not be updated.
b) Consider how the story evolves depending on the handling of new events, information, and perspectives in news articles. Consider how media outlets report the effects of the news story, and note how the sources present opinions on the story in the form of editorials and op-ed pieces.
c) In addition to the notes you take in your graphic organizer, keep track of the titles, authors, and URLs of articles you read as the story develops.

Step 4: After a week, review your graphic organizer to analyze the evolution of the news story
a) Consider what trends and patterns you noticed, and what factors most influenced the coverage of the story.
b) Using complete sentences, answer the questions on your follow-up questionnaire.
