***Here you are required to critique the news article by analyzing the evidence given by the author. You should point out theflaws in the news article and support where it needs to be.You are free to pinpoint the negative as well as positive parts of the story in the news article. To make a thorough analysis, however, you need to examine all elements of the news article: the structure; the methods;the reasons and evidence; the conclusion; and the logical connection between all of these elements. Questions you need to ask under “structure” are: what type of text is it? (e.g. is it a primary source or secondary source?); is it based on original research or a comment on original research?; what are the different sections and how do they fit together?; and are any of the sections particularly effective? Questions you need to ask under “methods” are: is the research quantitative or qualitative?; does the methodology have any weaknesses?; and how does the design of the study address the hypothesis? Questions to be asked under “reasons/evidence”: what sources does the author use (interview, government reports, journal entries, newspaper accounts, etc.)?;what type of reasoning are employed (inductive, deductive, etc.)?; what type of evidence is provided (empirical, statistical, logical, etc.)?, are there any gaps in the evidence? Note that some of these questions may not apply to your chosen news article, and in that case you don't need to worry too much about it.
