Students will follow their selected contemporary foreign policy issues throughout the semester. Each student will collect articles concerning their chosen topic from the New York Times over the course of the semester. Toward the end of the semester, the student will submit a five-page (typed & double-spaced) synopsis of the newspaper’s coverage of that issue. Students are encouraged to use the daily paper version of the New York Times and not its online version. The limit is five (5) typewritten double-spaced pages. There is no limit to the length of the portfolio of newspaper articles. The number of articles will be the determining factor there. Provide reference citations for each article in chronological order and include them in the five-page paper. The substance of your paper should not include personal opinions about the topic covered in the newspaper articles. Do not merely recite the substance of each article in chronological fashion. (For example: don’t go through the articles one at a time and list each’s content.) Tell me about the newspaper’s coverage of the topic. What is emphasized? What changes in the topic are related? Is . policy on this topic in the process of changing or being defined? REMEMBER, your focus is on . policy and . official interests. Do not get bogged down in newspaper coverage of issues that do not discuss . positions and interests. It should be obvious from the articles what is to be included in the 5-page statement. Remember the purpose of the assignment is to get you reading the newspaper and following . foreign policy and global affairs. The project is one way of ensuring that you do so and in the process (having chosen a topic to follow daily) get a greater background on the question of interest to you.
