COM 227 Module Five Activity Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: This activity will provide you with the opportunity to apply your Associated Press (AP) knowledge to a media alert. Whether you are an intern or an
executive, providing high-quality feedback in written form is essential for professional success. As a public relations (PR) professional, you will most likely always
be working as a part of a team. Each person plays a valuable role on the team, no matter his or her title. Junior team members are often asked to review the work
of others, as they are not always as close to the writing and have the ability to see errors where others may not be able to see them.
Prompt: Consider the following scenario: As the PR intern at a large public relations agency, team members often ask for you to review media alerts for clients as
a fresh set of eyes. Using Associated Press Stylebook Chapters A, C, and N, use tracked changes to locate and correct the 10 AP style errors from these three
chapters in the provided media alert. Submit the corrected media alert.
Guidelines for Submission: Submit assignment as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.
