Today we heard from Mike LaBonte, an editor and reviewer for NewsTrust.net, which allows users to submit and rate news stories for journalistic importance and quality. As a learning exercise, we had four teams read and analyze this story in the Independent on a proposal by the United Nations for a “Green New Deal.”
For your next assignment, please take part in a NewsTrust “news hunt” for stories on the global economy. I would like each of you to find, submit and rate three stories (including writing a brief assessment under “Notes”) between now and the start of class on Monday related to that theme, and to write a 350-word post on your blog.
Among other things, you should link to each of your three reviews; reflect on the experience, and explain whether you think NewsTrust is a valuable tool; and make suggestions, if you have any, on how NewsTrust might become more useful.
