I NEED 12 OF THESE

Every week, each students needs to post one critical news review of one news item found from established online media, such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, L.A. Times, etc.

• Do not copy the news article title, use your own catchy phrase or words to comment on the event
• Write a few sentences (see sample post by instructor) commenting on the broader implications of an event in relation with international justice, i.e. themes we've discussed in class
• Provide a URL with the source of your news article
