News Article Journal/Summaries
Critically summarize current news articles of 700 words or more published during the quarter in national or local newspapers and news magazines about topics we discuss in class. Some weeks, a topic will be given in order to
narrow your focus. News releases, editorials or commentaries do not apply. Submit the article summary in the Blackboard Article Journal each week.
Articles of appropriate length discussing the economy are easily found in the following publications: The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, The Financial Times, The New York Times, The Seattle Times, Business Week, etc.
While not limited to these publications, your article must be from a credible news source. (Online wikis, etc., do not count) You will find these and others readily available in the library.
Your critical analysis in each summary should address the following:
1) What is the primary question the article is addressing?
• Hint: The title is a clue
2) What is the answer presented in the article?
• Were alternative answers acknowledged and/or presented?
3) How does it tie in with what we have learned in class?
• Identify with major topics we have addressed (or haven’t)
4) How does it relate to your life and faith?
• How are you affected by this issue?
• How does it relate to your faith and/or Biblical principles? (Provide a scripture reference and explain)
5) What do you want to know more about?
• Answers lead to more questions—what are yours?
Begin each journal entry with the title of the article, the author, the date, and word count. Your summary should be 350 words (minimum) to 1000 words (maximum).
Be sure to include a working link to the article at the end of your summary.
Late submissions will NOT be accepted for credit.
