Historical thinking

Workshop assignment #10: Read the articles available via hyperlinks in this week's section of the syllabus. In one paragraph, analyze Barrack Obama's relationship with the news media from January 2007 through November 2008. The paragraph should offer your thesis, comment on the content, perspective, and bias of the articles, and offer your conclusion about why this year's Schieffer Symposium carries the title, "Obama and the Press: Is the media doing its job?"

Beneath your paragraph, draft one question you would like to ask the panelists at this year's symposium.

This assignment will be treated as an essay for purposes of calculating course grades.

Please submit your paragraph and question to me at 6:20 p.m. on April 1 near the elevators on the 3rd floor of the BLUU.
