How does the current pandemic affect news reporting? It is compulsory to introduce (at least) the following subtopics or approaches with regards to the major topic: 1) News Providers; 2) Access to Sources and Interviews; 3) Attribution and Quotes; 4) Broadcast Reporting; 5) Ethics and Code of Conduct; and 6) Health Journalism.
– Prove your complete command of the course literature (the one uploaded in Aula Global or recommended, and not only Potter´s main textbook). This will not be an opinion assignment but an academic one. Therefore, references on the main scholars’ approaches to the different issues will be needed. The professor will not matter about your topic opinion, but about your command and analysis on the literature, facts and data about the given issue.
– Use not only the materials uploaded in Aula Global but any other relevant one you might want. The professor will grade how relevant other possible sources used might be.
