After studying the assigned reading 21st Century Communication: A Reference Handbook, Chapter 65: “The Changing Nature of ‘News’” and considering the concepts of timeliness, proximity, oddity, prominence, impact, conflict, and human interest, provide a current example of a compelling news story. Answer the following questions or prompts:
A) Why is it compelling? Which of the concepts does it exemplify?
B) In general, how have these concepts been challenged by the advent of immediacy in a news release?
Support your responses with research from the Learning Resources. Use APA in-text citations where necessary and cite any outside sources. Create an APA reference list at the end of the document (make sure Turnitin Score is 20% or below for all assignments; otherwise revisions will have to be made before grading).
The response should be in 12pt type, at least 1-1.5 pages in length, double-spaced. I suggest that you make sure that you have information on the second page to be safe and avoid the loss of points.
Submit the responses in the file submission area for this assignment. For example, if you choose to “add a file” by attaching an MS Word or PDF document, please also copy and paste your response into the comments area.
