Here is the final project worksheet some of you have been asking me to post: 


These worksheets are due at class on Monday. If you haven't pitched me a story in person, make sure to email me this wkd. 

The midterm makeup assignment below is for those who scored 45 or lower on their midterm exam. The attached document details the reading and writing, you need to set aside two hours to do the makeup, and it must all be done in one sitting. It may not take you two hours, but you should give yourself  that space. This is an open book, open web, open everything assignment, simply write how long it took you on the top of your email when you send it off to me. No docs please, just email. 


Due: December 5th


"These photographs of albatross chicks, the first of which appeared in a recent New York Review article by Tim Flannery, were made just a few weeks ago on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific that was the site of the Battle of Midway in World War II and is now one of the world's most remote marine sanctuaries..." Listen to photographer Chris Jordan describe his approach to this subject.

SEXUAL ASSAULT PHOTO

Here's more on that photo we used for Ethics Briefing #4 in class:

Hatch said the judges' unanimous decision to publish the picture with the woman's face digitally obscured came after days of intense debate. One thing they discussed was what they saw as news organizations' double standard for pictures of foreigners and of Americans. Nick Ut's photo of a naked girl fleeing napalm in Vietnam has been widely reproduced, as have countless shots of starving, half-clothed Africans. According to Hatch, contest judge Horacio Villalobos, director of photography at Diario Popular in Buenos Aires, pointed out that American papers "run pictures all the time of people from other countries suffering and being abused and exploited. We publish pictures from abroad showing people's faces without regard to the issues debated in that room."
For Monday, here's who I have listed to present in group 4:

Berkowitz
Gauldron
Stackhouse
Dunn
McDermott
Russo
Burud
Hughes
Reysen





REPOST

As promised, here's the midterm review. The only change here is the withdrawal of Chapter 4 from or ETHICS textbook, further writing on the coverage of the Columbine incident, which you're NOT responsible for.

Test will be multiple choice, short answer, and fill-in-the-blank, you do not need your laptops for this exam.
