News-of-the-Week Assignment I
This post should be a synopsis and brief analysis of a news report/article appearing in the national or international media. It should be at least 150 words and include a link to the article with proper documentation (not included in the word count). To get credit, your synopsis must reflect two things:
1. The item selected must be business related in some way, and
2. You must link the information in the article to a larger systemic issue or an ethical concern.
Additionally, do not summarize the exact article that your peers have done although your post can be about the same topic so long as it offers a different angle/focus/scope.
Possible news sources include: Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Investor’s Business Daily, Barron’s, Fortune, CNBC, MarketWatch, Bloomberg News, CNNMoney, Business Insider, LA Times, NY Times, etc. (The report must be on some aspect of business/management/labor.)
