Assignment: Final Project “The Good, the bad and the ugly: science and the news”

This is a longer, final project for Scin. 1030 and thus worth 30 points. To discourage any temptation to copy/paste the project must be submitted via Turnitin and score under 10%. Do not work with anyone else or use the same sources as a classmate. This is individual work.
What to do –

Step 1: choose a technology or sustainability topic that interests you and NOT ALREADY COVERED IN CLASS.

Step 2: Find two news reports on your selected topic – they can be from newspapers, magazines or TV news but NOT from websites or blogs

Step 3: One of your articles/shows must represent “good” reporting. You have studied and discussed in class numerous examples of what constitutes ‘good’ science news reporting.

Step 4: One of your articles/shows must represent “bad or ugly” reporting. You have studied and discussed in class numerous examples of what constitutes ‘bad or ugly’ science news reporting.

TIP: Try working “backwards”. This means having only a ‘rough’, ‘flexible’, ‘changeable’ idea of your topic and as you search the news you focus more on finding a ‘good’ and a ‘bad or ugly’ article being prepared to change your topic according to what your searches reveal.

After selecting your topic, articles or show here’s what to do next –

Step 5: this is where you need to research the science. Imagine you are doing the introduction part of a SCIN 1030 class on your topic. IN YOUR OWN WORDS (without using any cut and paste) explain the science. (10 points)

Step 6: in your own words write a summary for each article. Use continuous prose to give a full flavour of each article or show. (10 points)

Step 7: analyse each article carefully and in detail to explain why it is ‘good’ and why it is ‘bad or ugly’ (10 points)

TIP: remember to give your references

For this assignment, I need you to analyse one good and one bad article on same topic from journalistic view. I need you to write why the good one is good and why the other one is bad journalism. In the introduction part, I want you to write the summary of the science in both news and the rest are according to the instruction above. I included the article from NGC which I think is the good article. Could you please find me the one which is bad on the same topic. Pleas let me know if you don’t understand anything.

Thank you very much.
