Identify A News Article That Discusses A Current Event Or Social Issue

Identify a news article that discusses a current event or social issue that relates to your field of study. Follow the instructions below to explain the issue, provide an additional example of the issue, connect the issue to your field of study, and pose questions about the issue.

First, identify your source for this assignment. It should be one news article, available through the UMGC Library, published within the past 12 months.

Content and Organization:

Number your answers and/or include the assignment questions so your instructor can see that you addressed each part of the assignment. Respond to each of the following:

1. Provide an APA-style reference for the news article you selected. The format for the reference is as follows: Author, A. A. (Year, Month Day). Title of article in sentence case. Title of Newspaper in Title Case and Italics. Although the news article should be available through the UMGC Library, provide the URL directly to the newspaper that published the article. An APA reference entry does not link to a library database record. It does include the URL of the newspaper homepage, such as [Insert URL].

2. Explain the current event or social issue discussed in the article.

3. Provide an additional example of the issue.

4. Connect this issue to your field of study.

5. Pose questions about the issue for further discussion or exploration.
