im having trouble finding a good article for this assignment.. any help?

Question

news article that you wish to do your paper on with the study type and explanatory and response variables identified. Please note that this is to be a news article from a mainstream media source (not a scholarly journal article or conference paper), i.e. something that the general public is likely to encounter.

Possible search terms: "Study proves", "study shows", "research proves", "research shows", "scientists prove", and so on. You may use a thesaurus for more ideas for search terms. Search only one idea at a time, i.e. search for "study shows".

i need to be able to answer these:

(5) brief summary
(10) type of research
(10) example of confounding variable OR specify the treatments.
(5) ID the explanatory and response variables
(5) ID the source of the research and/or the funding

Answer 1

Need help with your journalism assignment. Okay. Go to the first page of the first section of the New York Times, and choose the article that begins at the top of the first column. Then do the analysis. Let's see. Summary= the chief is a jerk
type of research= survey of liberal talk show hosts
comfounding variables= OBL agrees
explanatory= liberal bias
source of funding=OBL
how objects studied= through dark glasses
size of effect= additional 20,000 illegals entered US during the time it took to read the article
causual relationship= all available boarder guards were reading the NYT
convincing= duh,no
accuracy=questionable
composition= strictly journalistic-who, what ,where, when ,how, using the best of the English language, written at the tenth grade level-ho ho ho

Answer 2

The New York Times and the LA Times both have good science sections. You should be able to find lots of articles about research. Instead of litterally searching for "study proves," try just looking at the science articles to see if they are about experimental research.

When I took a Biology Technical Writing class we had to use the New York Times to learn how to write a news article about science.

Answer 3
