This assignment supports that process by asking you to engage in self-reflection and consider how the material you have engaged with in the past 4 weeks applies to you. Using the Kultura Media tool, you will video record your response to the assignment questions.

Question Description

Your essay must be a minimum of two pages and must use at least your textbook and two articles from the CSU Online Library. Any information from outside sources must be cited and referenced in APA format, and your paper should be formatted in APA style to include a title page, running head, and reference page.

Articles can be from any library database accessible through the CSU Library, though America: History and Life with Full Text is strongly suggested. Any article used must be a full-text article and academic in nature, and reviews are not acceptable to fulfill this requirement. Library staff is available to help you locate an article for your chosen subject.

The following articles are a few examples of the type of article that is acceptable for this assignment. Notice how each is a full article and not a book review that is commonly found in the databases.

Question Description

THE SCENARIO: You are a reporter for a local newspaper. You come back to the office one day to find several staff members discussing this story: Two teenagers have been killed in an automobile accident. The driver, who survived, had been drinking prior to the accident. The two girls in the back seat, both of whom were killed, were nude at the time of the accident. 2 Your colleague, another reporter, is pushing for all the known facts to be reported. But the editor argues that the fact of the girls’ nudity should not be revealed; he claims that such information will just be an additional insult to their parents, who already are suffering from the girls’ deaths.

Ask: Do you have a right to publish: The fact that the driver was drinking? The fact that the girls were nude at the time of the accident?

Would it be responsible to publish these facts in reporting the accident? Brainstorm ALONE about things to consider in deciding whether to report this information:

Do we have all the facts? Has anyone interviewed the survivor?

Does the newspaper have a policy on printing names of sexual-assault victims?

Will publishing the information help anyone else?
