Due Friday
Assignment: Dealing with Informal Sources Paper
Locate 2 recent news stories about bullying. Pay close attention to the comments section and the share function (to share on social media sites). Consider how the audience both receives and creates information and also how social media affects the way people receive information.
Write a 500 word paper in which you briefly discuss the effects the online audience can have on a story’s content, credibility, and trending, particularly as it relates to your project topic. Address the following questions:
• How might this affect the way you write your story?
• How is quoting informal information from an interview different from quoting information from online comments?
• Why is it important to be accurate and attribute sources?
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
