Each student will discuss a topic from the assigned reading twice during the semester. The student will turn in a 1.5 to 2-page response paper. This assignment allows you to reflect on your assigned reading. It is an opportunity to “think out loud” about issues that interest you and that are connected to the reading. You may talk through a new idea arising from your reading, contemplate what confuses you, argue an inconsistency, defend an idea represented in the reading, offer an alternative view, elaborate/apply via a personal experience, etc.
MY CASE STUDY IS:
Informing a Just Society
6A-6C
(I was thinking of doing 6C but if there is a case study that is easier between 6A or 6B go for it but you only choose one.)
The teacher basically said you should write as diary entry and is really looking to see how you would feel about the case.
You can wrtie how you want but chatgpt gave me this format I don’t know if this helps,
BrutusAI: Sure, I’d be happy to help you write a response paper on this case study. Here’s a possible outline:
Title: The Lantern’s Coverage of a Racial Injustice Protest: A Case Study in Journalistic Ethics
Introduction:
* Introduce the case study of the Lantern’s coverage of a racial injustice protest and the controversy that ensued.
Explain the purpose of the response paper, which is to reflect on the assigned reading and “think out loud” about issues that interest you, confuse you, or inspire you to argue, defend, or offer alternative views.
Body:
* Paragraph 1: Describe the Lantern’s coverage of the protest and the students’ accusations of discrimination and bias.
* Paragraph 2: Discuss the students’ concerns about their privacy and safety, and how the Lantern’s editors balanced these concerns with their commitment to accurate and fair reporting.
* Paragraph 3: Contemplate the ethical dilemmas that arose from this case study, such as the tension between the right to privacy and the public’s right to know, or the impact of social media on journalistic practices and standards.
* Paragraph 4: Offer an alternative view or elaborate on the issues raised in the case study by drawing from personal experiences, research, or current events.
Conclusion:
* Summarize the main points of the response paper and reiterate the importance of journalistic ethics in covering sensitive issues like racial injustice.
* End with a thought-provoking question or statement that encourages further reflection and discussion.
Remember to use evidence from the case study and your own analysis to support your arguments and ideas. Also, make sure to cite any sources you use and format the paper according to your instructor’s guidelines. Good luck!!!
