Please use the attached articles and powerpoint slides to complete the following news journal:

The News Journal should include:  (a) a summary of the articles, and (b) a combined economic discussion/analysis of the articles. Maximum length is six double (or 1.5) spaced pages. 

Please follow the guidelines below: 

Content:

-addresses questions thoughtfully

-analysis is positive (not normative)

-analysis considers all possible sides

-analysis uses concepts and frameworks from class

-Does not re-teach material

-economic concepts and terminology are used correctly

-if used, any tables, graphs or equations enhance or support the analysis

Writing:

-report uses active voice

-does not change voice in the report

-sentences are easy to read the first time through

-the report should read as if the author is speaking

-the report is written simply and clearly—no elegant variation or unnecessarily flowery language.

-articles are considered as a whole, not one by one.
