Welcome!

Dear Class of 2018,

Wow.  We have much to accomplish.  Before we even begin to talk about rhetoric or argumentation, we need to talk about what we consume...........as readers, as viewers, as buyers.........

After reading the article in class titled "What is Fake News?" your job is to:
1)  Read this proclamation/set of guidelines from AP News

Here

2) Respond to the differences in what makes up "Fake News" and "Real News".  Are the guidelines set up by AP News really achievable?  How do we know journalists won't fall victim to the same traps as those who write fake news?

3)  Do some research.  Find 3 BRAND NEW TO YOU news sources that you find to be credible.  They MAY NOT BE any major/cable news network.  Digital or print.  List them.  Also, what about them makes them credible????????

All of your responses come in the "comments" section.  Make certain that you type your name in at the beginning of your comment, just as if you were typing a paper.

This assignment is due on Sunday, August 27th by 11:56 pm.
