ASSIGNMENT:

Find news articles that address some aspect of climate change from three different publications – make sure the subject of the article is the same in each source. Choose one news source from each column:

A B C
The Intercept AP Fox News
Democracy Now! Reuters New York Post
Mother Jones The Hill News Max
The Daily Beast Washington Post Washington Times
Vanity Fair New York Times Breitbart
Vice News L.A Times Washington Free Beacon
CounterPunch CNN Daily Caller
Truth Dig New Yorker Washington Examiner
Daily Kos Wall St. Journal CNS News
Truth Out Politico The Federalist

How do the articles differ in their approach to the story? Can you identify any bias? Is there information included in some articles that is left out in others? Why do you think the information was not included? Which do you find most credible? Why?

The more reasoning and depth to your analysis, the better. You should submit an essay of 500 to 1000 words in order to ensure you have developed your ideas adequately. Don’t forget to include your in-text citations and a Works cited section at the end of your essay.
