In the Newsroom
2° Keeping up with the news. In international groups ( your teacher will tell you with whom you will work) create a survey . You can use the following website : https://www.surveymonkey.com or any site you want . Find out : How people around you get informed , the means of information they find the most reliable ,the reason(s) why they are using them and with which frequency. Before proceeding with the survey, you should carefully list the existing variety of media and find detailed questions to help people answer. You should also be able to analyse people’s habits and confidence in the news according to their age, social class and gender. A) Analyse the results and write a short paragraph about your findings . B) Here are some tips about advertising ( see PDF : persuasive techniques). Create your own add to promote the medium of your choice ( you should use the results of the survey at some point ) |
