Then, work on focusing on how the media/communications fields maintain socially responsible practices when relaying information. What steps can you take to evaluate socially responsible practices that are used in the communication profession? How does media coverage act as a part of social responsibility? What drives corporations to be socially responsible when reporting information to an audience? Revise the section for clarity and focus and address these components.

Please keep the positive and negative implications section together instead of splitting it up in different locations. Next, clearly address this section because the current information is not clear. Revise the whole section. What steps can you take to establish the positive aspects regarding the speed of which information's received? What negative impacts are there due to the instantaneous nature of the digital environment?

Please continue to work on enhancing these elements by addressing why it's important to have compassion and what could happen if compassion lacks. What are some practical guidelines for practices of communication that show compassion for diverse audiences? Enhance the material by including some source information to back your claims also.  What are some other ways TalkBox should consider when showing compassion for different races, cultures, and backgrounds?

In the next draft, please use a font style that's readable. The content's squashed and stretched in a way that makes content difficult to see. 

Select your text, then "clear all formatting" by pressing this button on the home screen. 

This will fix your font so it is readable for everybody. Having readable content will make the process smoother.

In addition to working on ensuring material is reader-friendly, please read your content aloud and work on proofreading material. Many sentences throughout the project are unclear, so your information isn't clearly presented or relating to the rubric criteria or project questions. Please review your student writing guide to go over the writing requirements for projects. Then, review your student help resources for useful tips and resources that can help you with the writing process. For example, there is tutoring available to assist you with the writing process, and there is a free source called grammarly.com that can assist you also. One tip that can help is to keep it simple. Using loaded language and terminology often isn't a "best approach." Simplifying information and wording (basically, keep it down-to-Earth) is a better practice that will help you improve focus and address content better.  Continue to develop your project for clarity and readability for the next draft.

In the next draft, please work on in-text citations so they're actually next to content that's quoted, paraphrased, or learned from a source instead of with the headers as placing them next to headers doesn't indicate what content's actually quoted or paraphrased. Review the citation guide and the following resources:
