OK. Here is this week's homework...
1.) Fix up any mistakes from last week's homework.
2.) Each of you will be assigned a country or influential media organization. Your job is to look at how that country/organization is reacting to the news that is coming out of Libya. We will gather next Tuesday and, during first period, collaborate.
Here are your country assignments...
Darren: Al-Jazeera (Qatar/ Middle East)
Murielle: La Monde (France)
Christine: Russian Times (Russia)
Catherine: Media Indonesia and Antara (Indonesia)
Peggy: NBC and Fox News (United States)
Eve: The Times of India and NDTV (India)
Sarah: El Universal and El Mundo (Venezuela)
Sabina: Xinhua News (China)
Junior: The Punch, and The Nigeria Tribune (Nigeria)
You need to find at least five different news articles (not editorials) that deal with the topic. Give a one paragraph synopsis of those articles and be prepared to share them. Your synopsis should also include a brief explanation of who the author is. Also, be prepared to answer this question...
"How does (your country/ organization) seem to feel about the attacks in Libya?"
3.) Start preparing your defense, prosecution, or testimonies. They will be your midterms.
Mr. Gibson
Oops!
ReplyDeleteI almost forgot, make sure you are prepared to tell us if each article is ...
postive,
negative, or
neutral...
about the attacks on Libya.

Hey, here are some articles from The Times of India and NDTV:
ReplyDeleteThe Times of India
"India backs UN sanctions against Libya"
[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/India-backs-UN-sanctions-against-Libya/articleshow/7585933.cms]
This news article is negative, because it interviewed people with negative opinions upon the issue and mentioned more negative sides of Libya's military regime.
"Gaddafi likens his crackdown to India's action in Kashmir"
[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Gaddafi-likens-his-crackdown-to-Indias-action-in-Kashmir/articleshow/7631784.cms]
This article is totally negative, since it had clearly stated "Gaddafi has rarely been a person India has been comfortable with."
NDTV
"India regrets air strikes against Libya"
[http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/india-s-statement-against-libya-air-strikes-92897]

3. Obama: "We're successful in our mission" to Libya
