Week 13 RJA  

 

Application Project Example– 

 

For my application project I would like to do new paper article. I found a article from the Chicago Tribune about teen violence. The link to it is: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-ap-us-schoolshooting-in,0,7372495.story.

 

I think what I can learn from this article to apply to my own project is that there should be a balance between facts and opinions and that you should try to stay neutral in your accounts. It is ok, even great, if you can present both sides of the story and even present first hand accounts from each side. As a journalist you should be biased and try to remain subjective. I also learned that it can be powerful to be optimistic at the very end of the piece.
