For this assignment, you are going to pick a specific, single, and current international event and examine how this event is presented by different news media sources from around the globe. You are being asked to compare the articles you have selected for this assignment and discuss how the differing ways in which the event you have chosen actually reflects more than the “plain” facts, but rather reveals complex layers of social values, assumptions, biases, beliefs and meanings by each of your articles’ authors.
Four sources are newspapers from four different countries and talk about the same events. Your topic should not be an ongoing events. You might choose to discuss one recent, single actions that occurred outside US.
