Option 1

With any good news story, you must utilize multiple sources. Your story must be a

minimum of two pages. A minimum of

two reputable sources must be

used, cited, and referenced, one of which must come from the CSU Online

Library. This

means you will need to find at least one additional source on your own. Inappropriate resources or failure to use

resources available in the CSU Online Library can lead to deductions

(and loss of your news audience).

You will submit an outline of your broadcast in bulleted form, which should be at least 200 words in length. Your

outline does not need to be in essay form; rather, it should include the highlights of your speech along with some

expansion to each bulleted item to provide details and clarity when necessary.

·

You are required to use a

minimum of two reputable sources, which must be cited

and referenced, only one of which can be an assigned or provided text or source.

Please include these on a separate reference page with

your outline.
