Your Sources for the News (Pick Any Two)

E-Day Assignment 1

For your e-day assignment visit a few of the websites listed below and find articles from at least two different sites about the same subject. These articles should be about U.S. politics, World politics, the economy or some other major current event currently taking place. Entertainment, sports, or technology news falls outside the scope of this assignment. Read each article carefully while identifying the viewpoint (bias) of the article as well as identifying and analyzing the types of sources the articles use. Once you finish reading write a brief (one or two pages 1.5 spaced) essay identifying and discussing the different ways your two articles present the information and how this affects the story itself.
