relevance to this class

in 200 to 250 words

First, look in reputable  publications for an article that addresses  any issue from the course. For  example, find an article in the New York  Times about the portrayal of race in  the media; or an article in the  Los Angeles Times about a new generation of  shock advertising.

Bring this article to the table,  so to speak, in the form of a  discussion by summarizing your article, its  contents, views, and  relevance to this class. If the article is available  online, be sure to  include a link to the article. If not, cite the source.

In your response post, try to  identify the potential effect or future implications of the issue presented.
