For reading time: http://www.cnn.com/2009/BUSINESS/05/07/murdoch.web.content/index.html
1. We will take a quiz on journalism, newsworthiness, law, and ethics.
Next we are beginning a unit on gathering information. We will use these skills to add content to our Voices of Hope stories.
Find the following information. Use your knowledge of news sources. You may work alone or with a partner. Identify the source (where you found the information) and provide attribution (who gave you the information) for each item. Give first and last names of the people you are asked to name and those who provide the information. You must spell each name correctly!
Ground rules:
• Be polite and patient
• Do not disrupt classes in session
• Do not overwhelm the office staff. They are busy, too!
• If you wish to speak to someone in a cluster office, knock before entering.
