Week 2: Budget Meeting 2

Managing and Creating Print News Publications

Prepare: It is certainly true that print media faces a hefty task of trying to keep up in the saturated world of news media. In Chapters 4 and 5 of the textbook, Price, Husni, and Wenger (2015) focus on how newspapers and magazines have had to adapt in the face of technological advances to attract readers. Read these chapters to gain a better understanding of their views on what each medium must do to continue to thrive and remain relevant.

Reflect: Now that you have read the chapters, think about the suggestions posed by the authors in relation to the audience that you and your news team will be writing for this term.

· Are the strategies for newspaper and magazines the same when it comes to adapting to technology for the delivery of news?

· How can each medium ascertain that they reach an audience for their print services?

Write: After you have reflected on these things, write a 250-300 word response that addresses each of the questions. 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.

Check it! Your post must be submitted through Grammarly prior to submission.

Respond to Peers: After you have written your initial post, read the posts of your peers and respond to at least three of them. Be sure to identify at least one point in each argument with which you agree and at least one point with which you disagree. Your responses should address them by name, be between 100 and 150 words in length, and include your name at the end.
