Each week you will need to collect news clippings about current issues and the most useful sources are The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian and The Daily Telegraph. Current concerns are usually, immediately covered by the press and it will mean you become familiar with some of the local and macro environment.
Class Activity - Take some notes using key words after reading the article you have brought in class.
Homework = Summary - Write a brief summary of the main issues the article deals with based on your notes.
Personal reflection - Respond in a written format about attitudes, feelings, reflections on the content and implications of the article.
TASK - Read the statements on showing shocking images and agree or disagree giving good arguments based on the group discussion done in class.
1. "The public has a right to know what's happening. I think they should not cut out anything. People are mature enough to take in the reality of what happens in the world every day".
2. "TV news sometimes seems more like a show. They want a bigger audience so they show shocking or provocative images. TV news should report the news, not try to shock people."
