2. Search for standard/reason to use in your essay
Once you selected the story, look for what kind of standard/reason you are going to apply to analyze the story. The standard/reason must from an authoritative source not from your own.
Do not simply copy & paste the definition of standard/reason from the authoritative source. In many cases, I see students not applying the standard/reason correctly to analyze the story. This means that the standard/reason listed in the essay must match to your analysis. So, make sure you fully understand the standard/reason that you are using but be concise as possible when you explain the standard/reason.
Examples of standard/reason can be found in our previous readings (e.g., objectivity, fairness, accuracy, and etc). But this does not mean that the standard/reason must come from our previous readings. Feel free to use standards outside of our reading that are from authoritative sources. An authoritiave source is peer-reviewed and published academic journal article, news article, and books (No personal blog).
