Collect All Paper Issues of a Daily Newspaper During a Period

question 4

Essay

Collect all paper issues of a daily newspaper during a period of one week, Monday through Sunday. If you do not know anyone who has a subscription, you can get them from a local public library or the university library. Your essay is essentially a shortened research report that answers the following question: "What were the most important events in the week of [month, day] to [month, day] as reported in [the newspaper]? You need to read the paper front to back. Focus on news stories only. Follow the coding procedures discussed in this chapter. Be sure to discuss how you proceeded and why and what conclusions you drew and why. For example, why do you believe event X was the most important of the week? Or, why did you find it difficult to come up with a particular list (of the top five important events)? Alternatively, students can be asked to focus on local advertisements, obituaries, classifieds, etc.
