The Challenges and Benefits to the Proposal

Write this part as an investigative reporter for a major publication (magazine or newspaper) who has been assigned to research important issues (ethnic, racial, or gender) that are causing problems and affecting people in a local area, workplace, or a specific part of the world. Your goal will be to provide both an in-depth analysis and put a human face on this issue and the associated problems by writing a series of articles that the editor plans to publish in two (2) major parts. Assignment 3, or Part 2 of your investigative report, will focus on the benefits and challenges of the proposed change(s) as well as responses to the challenges.
(Note: Remember that Part 2 will include revisions to Part 1. Assignment 4 will require you to provide a summary in a PowerPoint presentation for a meeting of the National Association of Journalists.)

Write a three to four (3-4) page (or 750 to 1,100 words approximately 275 words per page) paper in which you:

  1. Revise Part I based on your professor’s feedback. (Submit Part 1 with Part 2. Part I is not counted in page length for this assignment.)
  2. Analyze two to three (2-3) likely challenges (economic, social, political, legal, etc.) to achieving the proposed change(s).
  3. Provide a logical response to each of the challenges.
  4. Analyze two to three (2-3) possible benefits (economic, social, political, legal, etc.) that could be realized following the proposed change(s).
  5. Provide a summary of the articles you have written that includes a quote, question, and / or statistic, along with a call for readers to respond by taking some specific action.
  6. Include five to seven (5-7) credible and reliable references in addition to the textbook. (Three sources can be the same as the ones used in Part 1. The others must be new sources.)

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA. The assignment must be submitted as a Microsoft Word document. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
