News analysis of Supply and Demand ( APA style )

News Analysis

There are five News Analyses on assigned topics due this semester. For each News Analysis, you will select a recent news article published within the last three months from a reputable English-language news source (e.g., The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Economist, etc.). The article must relate to our current in-class discussion of economic concepts.

You will write a one-page, single-spaced report (approximately 500-600 words) that includes:

• a brief summary of the article,
• a discussion connecting the article to specific economic concepts covered in class, and
• your personal insights on the issue (implications, trade-offs, and/or possible outcomes).

A few students will be selected to present their analysis in class.

What counts as a reputable English-language news source?

A reputable news source is widely recognized for credibility and ethical journalism. These sources generally have:

• Strong editorial standards (fact-checking, corrections when needed),
• an established history and broad professional recognition,
• professional journalists and transparent reporting practices,
• and accountability through corrections/retractions when errors occur.
