A common task assigned to employees is summarizing recent news and providing a supervisor with a brief summary and some key concepts from a variety of news sources. This assignment is designed to provide a framework for doing that.
Select a recent (within the last 6 months or so) current events article that can be related to one of the topics covered in the class to date. Any article topic that interests you is good. I have had people write about make-up, sports, dog food, and more. Remember we can find Economics throughout our lives, this is extending it to viewing others.
Choose an article of sufficient length and depth of topic to support a review. The article may be from a newspaper, magazine, an academic journal, TJC’s online library, or the current business press, such as the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, or similar publications. Be cautious with the Journal articles, many of them will be too difficult to decipher at this point in your education. Do not use USA Today, Yahoo News, and similar publications and websites, the articles are generally too short. Do not use a blog. Do not use an Encyclopedic site or textbook. If the article is just an explanation of the concept it is not a news article. 
In the review identify why you chose that article, what about this topic piqued your interest. Provide a brief summary of the article. Explain how the article relates to the economic concepts covered in class Identify the strengths and weaknesses of the article. Use your own words, do not use a lot of quotations.
The evaluation of strengths and weaknesses relates to the article itself, not the subject matter. What did the author do well? What could or should have been included to improve the article?
The review must be typed in an easily readable font (example: Arial 12pt), double spaced and saved in Word readable format (doc or docx). As a student at TJC you have access to Office 365. There is a link on the left Navigation bar, click and get your account set up if you do not already have access to Word.
APA style citations are required for all sources used in the review, this includes the article itself.
