Assignment 1: Discussion—Article Analysis

In this discussion assignment, you will be analyzing an article to evaluate how effectively the author has managed to convey his or her point of view.

Read the following article from the Argosy University online library:

• Swartz, J. (2010, October 19). Privacy breached in Facebook apps. USA Today, p. 2b. (ProQuest Document ID:
  759091306) 

Then, based on your analysis of the article, respond to the following:

• What is the genre of this article: news, editorial (an opinion piece), or public relations?

• What is the purpose of the writer? Justify your answer with evidence from the textbook. Consider answering these questions: Are there any unfavorable impressions provided, or does the author remain neutral? What language suggests this to you?

• Who is the intended audience (who would be likely to read and agree with the ideas)? How does this relate to the genre? Justify your answers with evidence from the textbook.

• What evidence (voices and statistics) does the writer include? How does the evidence influence the purpose?

Write your initial response in about 150–200 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Ensure that your response to this assignment is logical, clear, and well organized. Also, proofread your response for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors, as your instructor will be reviewing your posts for writing quality as well.

By the due date assigned, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through the end of the module, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses.
