brief essays,

which discuss current news articles that relate to
public policy. The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you
to evaluate current public policy issues and their treatment in the
media in light of the concepts covered in the readings and
discussions occurring in the course. The news articles you select
should illustrate a real-world application, or, where appropriate,
a lack of application, of one or more of the concepts covered in
the readings of the same module. Your essays should be critical
reviews of the articles, meaning that you should provide your own
analysis regarding the articles, rather than simply summarizing
them.  Each review is due by the end of the module/week in which it is
assigned.  Review the News Article Review Grading Rubric to
improve the quality of your essays and be sure to adhere to all of
the specific guidelines described below. The articles or news stories that you choose should be: Each article review must cover different topics. Refrain from
using follow-up pieces or multiple perspectives of the same topic.
For example, if you find an article discussing a new government
regulation in , you cannot use a
follow-up piece put out a few days later in the same newspaper or a
different article in a different newspaper discussing the same
topic.Your essay should be 1/2-page to 1-page, double-spaced. In the
essay, you must summarize the article in order to demonstrate your
comprehension of the content. Additionally, you should identify key
elements discussed in the article and relate those elements back to
concepts discussed in the course. Discuss whether the situation
described in the article implements any of the concepts discussed
in the course or if there are possible ways that concepts from the
course could be implemented. At the end of the essay, provide the complete citation for the
article (including the publication date). If possible, you should
include the actual article either by pasting it at the end of the
document or by providing a link to the article. Format the essay
and citation in correct APA style.
