CMC 240 Week 5 Dealing with Informal Sources Paper

Review “The People Formerly Known as the Audience” in the Electronic Reserve Readings.

Locate 2 recent news stories about your project topic. Pay close attention to the comments section and the share function (to share on social media sites). Consider how the audience both receives and creates information and also how social media affects the way people receive information.

Write a 500- to 700-word paper in which you briefly discuss the effects the online audience can have on a story’s content, credibility, and trending, particularly as it relates to your project topic. Address the following questions:

  • How might this affect the way you write your story?
  • How is quoting informal information from an interview different from quoting information from online comments?
  • Why is it important to be accurate and attribute sources?

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
