Before we get back into music reviews, read the following article from the Charlotte Observer. It's an interview with Newsweek's editor, who claims the media does not have a liberal bias.
Pay particular attention to the last question in the interview!
Action: Write or type up a few paragraphs, offering your reaction to this article. State any opinion or position you want as you review this article ... just be sure to back up and defend your positions.
Turn in your paper, written or typed, when you are finished. Then return to writing your music reviews - but be sure to first check out the bonus opportunity below. ...
Bonus opportunity! We had a previous opportunity to earn bonus points by successfully editing a Wikipedia entry (and that offer still stands). Here's another:
Remember, we are examining media and how we interact with it. Notice this interview is conducted by Taylor Batten, editor of the Observer's opinion pages. His email is listed at the end of the story.
Your challenge for bonus points: Write a very brief, thoughtful letter to the editor (Mr. Batten), stating your opinion on whether the media is biased. Show it to me first (for edits), and then go ahead and let Mr. Batten know your opinion for full points!
Okay ... back to music reviews!
