Choose and further develop one specific issue you mentioned in Discussion Post
The Issue Paper is meant to help you establish a topic and then to further develop a research question within that topic. The topic should be relevant enough that joumalists are writing about it in these long-form, analytical magazines. Consider the following questions when developing your paper:
- What is the issue? - What disciplines did you select, why did you select them, and how do they relate to each other within the context of your issue? - How has the issue been presented in current long-form journalism? (To answer this question and establish contemporary relevancy, use two stories from publications found on the above list of long-form joumalism periodicals.) - Why are you personally interested in the issue and why should others be?
