Step 1 Conduct research.

Using course materials and the Internet, find an image you wish to evaluate. Use the following to guide your research:

• The image you select should be related to local, national, or international news events (for example, a newspaper image or a news magazine image).

Step 2 Write a report.

In a one-page (250-word) report, address the following:

• Provide the source of the image (for example, News magazine, April 2003, Vol. 6, No. 2.).
• Is the message of the image accurate and fair, or is it distorted and biased?
• Can you support, refute, or extend the message?
• Does the image achieve its apparent purpose?
• How does the image affect you?
• Be sure to include the image in the report, and to cite its source.

Step 3 Save and submit your assignment.

When you have completed the assignment, save a copy for yourself in an easily accessible place and submit a copy to your instructor using the dropbox.
