WRITE MY ESSAY

The guidelines for this assignment are outlined in the course syllabus. An example of a primary and reply post is provided in the Discussion Boards > Discussion Board Guidelines section of eCampus.
Please address the following topic in your primary post. Once you have submitted your primary post, you may reply to any student’s post on any topic to complete the assignment requirements. Your primary post must be in essay format! Do not copy/paste each prompt into your primary post and respond to them separately.
How to actually win back trust in news
Read the article linked above by Isaac Saul of Readtangle.com. Address address all of the prompts below (at a minimum) in your primary post:
Summarize the article. Identify the central arguments or findings and the evidence used to support them (ignore everything after the “Before you go” section of the article).
Identify and discuss how this issue relates to what you have learned from the course textbook. Be specific, citing a relevant passage and page from the book using MLA in-text citation format.
Summarize and evaluate the article’s conclusion(s). Are they logically consistent or inconsistent with the evidence provided in the article? Is it consistent with what you learned in the textbook?
What have other scholars said about one or more of the issues/policies discussed in the article? How are their findings consistent/inconsistent with those in the article?
Overall, what are your thoughts about the findings, evidence, and conclusion presented in the article and why? Whether you agree or disagree with their arguments and conclusions, support your evaluation with high quality, authoritative sources.
You will not be able to see the work of other students until you have submitted your original posting. You will not be able to edit your post after you submit it.
Checklist (do not submit your primary post until you are certain it contains the following elements, at a minimum):
Ο Primary post thoroughly addresses all of the prompts above and exceeds 250 words in the body (not counting citations and quotations).
Ο The primary post cites and discusses the assigned article, the course textbook, and at least one scholarly or high quality source using MLA in-text citations and corresponding MLA Works Cited entries are provided in a concluding “Works Cited” section.
Ο You have downloaded/saved a copy of every scholarly source cited and can email that to the professor if asked to do so. Cited sources (not including the textbook) must be present and searchable online for verification and review.
Ο A word count is provided at the end of the posting.
Lastly:
Post a substantive reply exceeding 150 of your own words: thoroughly evaluate, discuss, and reflect on the ideas and arguments presented by another student. Avoid using the phrase “I like how you…”. Focus on developing concepts. Look at the sample reply post in the Discussion Board section of the course.
This is not primarily an exercise in expressing opinions. Whether you like/did not like or agreed/did not agree with the article is not the point. Evaluate the arguments and ideas. The best discussion submissions will support all key arguments, facts, assertions and claims with research in both posts.
Submissions are randomly checked for plagiarism using TurnitIn. Plagiarized submissions or submissions with fabricated sources will result in an automatic zero for the course. Using AI (artificial intelligence) sources to write any part of this assignment is considered plagiarism.
Posting a blank, incomplete, or partial primary post with the intent to see what other students have posted will result in a 50% penalty to the assignment grade.
