Case Study:
Overview
As described in the assignments due in Weeks 2, 5, and 8, you wrote two articles (Parts 1 and 2) as if you were an investigative reporter who has been assigned to research important issues (ethnic, racial, gender, or class) that are affecting people in a local area, workplace, or specific part of the world. The articles are for a major publication (magazine or newspaper). Your goal was to provide both an in-depth analysis of and put a human face on an issue. After publication, your editor has asked that you provide a summary of your articles using Google Slides or PowerPoint for a meeting of the National Association of Journalists, so the members can determine if the series should win one of its top three prizes for investigative reporting.
Develop a 10-12 slide presentation in which you:
Revise the ideas and concepts from Parts 1 and 2 of your articles.
Your slide deck should:
Question 1: Introduce the topic area with a quote, question, and/or statistic, along with an overview and a thesis statement. (Grab the audience's interest.)
Question 2: Highlight 3-5 major historical factors (social events/attitudes, wars, laws, economy, political environment, et cetera) in the past 50-100 years that have contributed to the current issue(s)/problems for this topic area.
Question 3: Highlight 3-5 major current issues/problems (economic, social, political, legal, et cetera).
Question 4: Describe 1-2 groups of people affected by the issue/problem, including 1-2 quotes and/or paraphrased comments from the people affected.
Question 5: Propose 2-3 changes (economic, social, political, legal, et cetera) that could possibly improve the situation.
Question 6: Highlight 2-3 likely challenges (economic, social, political, legal, et cetera) to achieving the proposed change(s).
Question 7: Provide a brief logical response to each of the challenges.
Question 8: Highlight 2-3 possible benefits (economic, social, political, legal, et cetera) that could be realized following the proposed change(s).
Question 9: Include 2-3 thought-provoking questions to which the audience should be asked to respond.
Question 10: Provide a summary of the articles you have written that includes a quote, question, and/or statistic, along with a call for readers to respond by taking some specific action.
