Discuss each of the following three hypothetical news situations:

  1. A top military official provides you with classified information. While scandalous, the information is complex and, if not presented clearly, could cause panic. Do you report on it? Why or why not?
  2. You have graphic images of the devastation caused by a war in which your country is participating. Do you use those images? Why or why not?
  3. You hear rumors that a presidential candidate has had multiple marital indiscretions; however, you have no hard evidence. Do you report the rumors? Why or why not?

The paper must be in essay format. DO NOT number your answers. For example, do not present the text of question one and then answer it. Although I’m asking for opinion here, strengthen your argument with class readings or other research.

1. 750-1,000 words typewritten in 12-point Times Roman font. If you are 100 words over or under the length you will be penalized.WORKS CITED PAGE IS NOT INCLUDED IN WORD COUNT.

2. Double spaced, with standard one-inch margins.

3. Include page numbers

4. Put your name on your paper, and start your electronic document title with your name.

5. Include a works cited page if you quote books and articles.

6. Include a thesis statement in your paper.
