Makeup assignment to replace one or more zeroes you have in News Editing MCOM 333:
1. This assignment is due at the start of our final exam. Must have it printed out and ready to submit to me at the start of our exam.
2. Length is about 3-3.5 pages, typed, double spaced.
3. Criteria for assessment: A) How well you followed the assignment directions. B) Quality of your writing, including mechanical perfection in spelling, grammar, word choice, punctuation and sentence structure. C) Attention to correct graph structure—no more than 3-4 sentences to a graph. D) Extent of critical thinking in your analysis, especially how well or appropriately you applied/cited key principles, concepts and guiding ideas in our course.
4. Directions: Obtain (from the Mass Comm. Dept. Resource Room—219 Johnson) a recent edition of ONE of the following newspapers:
Chester News & Reporter
Lancaster News
Fort Mill Times
Daniel Island News
Wall Street Journal
(Or you can obtain a recent edition of The (Rock Hill) Herald from a nearby news rack.)
Closely examine the newspaper you are focusing on. Evaluate the quality of writing and/or editing in its headlines, cutlines and sampling of key stories. Be sure to make a connection between your selected newspaper and what you learned in our course and/or from our textbook in writing your evaluation. In addition, comment on the design and packaging of key elements/pages of your selected publication. Good design? Bad or poor design? Areas for improvement? Explain.
IMPORTANT: Get a big brown envelope from Jamie Low (in 219 Johnson) or from someone else, and include this makeup work in the envelope, along with your selected newspaper. Put everything in the envelope and put your name on the outside of it. Give it to me at the start of our final exam.
This is the only material I will accept to replace the zero or zeroes you currently have in my grade book. No exceptions.
