Prepare: It can be quite perplexing to grasp the reasons for political decisions and behaviors in other countries without an understanding of the culture of a country. As future journalists, it is important to critically examine the cultural impact of news coverage.
Reflect: Considering the same news coverage that you analyzed in Discussion One, think about the following questions:
· Was there anything in the report that helped you to understand the culture of the country and the impact of it on the political process or issue?
· Did the news report attempt to compare and contrast the political culture of the United States with the foreign country?
· If the report did provide cultural insight, did the tone communicate respect or criticism of the culture and political process or issue?
Write: Once you have considered each of the questions, write a 250- to 300-word response addressing each of them. In your initial post, you must include at least one in-text citation from the reading material and an additional in-text citation from a scholarly source that you locate in the Ashford University Library or from another credible source. At the end of your post, include your name and a full reference for all sources cited in the body of your post. All citations and references must adhere to APA style guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. .
