Worlds Apart |
Prepare: The political news that we receive on a daily basis is not only about the politics of our country, but we are riddled with stories about the politics of other countries. Many times audience members may not fully understand the reason for the coverage or the impact that it has on the United States. Read Chapter 9, “Foreign Affairs Coverage,” in the textbook to explore these areas further.
Reflect: After reading the chapter, conduct an Internet search to analyze news coverage on politics in other countries. Choose one story from a mainstream news organization such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, etc. In your response, respond to the following questions:
· Did the coverage help you to understand the political process and/or issue in the country being reported on?
· From the report, is there a clear indication of the impact of the political issue on the United States?
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. .
Check it! Your post must be submitted through
Grammarly
prior to submission.
Respond to Peers: After writing your initial post, read the posts of your peers and respond to at least two others about what they discovered. Your responses should address them by name, be between 100 and 150 words in length, and you must include your name at the end of each response.
