Style and Language Sensitivity
Stovall (2015) writes:
Writers must understand that language has the ability to define, offend, and demean. Readers and viewers of the mass media are a broad and diverse group, and those who would communicate with them should be aware of the language sensitivities of that group...Media writers and organizations should go beyond simply trying not to offend. They should make efforts to expand their thinking and news coverage to be inclusive toward groups that previously have not been part of the news...They should seek diversity for their work because the world is a diverse place.
Taking these ideas into consideration, visit theConscious Style Guide and scan through the articles. Choose one area of diversity on which to focus.

The paper must be between four and five pages in length and written according to AP style.
