Write 250 to 300 words in which you
describe a press release addressing a scandal or setback related to your chosen
topic.

Use the same topic you chose for the Print Media Worksheet 1 CheckPoint:
the feminist movement and women’s liberation, public education, antiwar
protestors, fur and leather products, pollution, or wildlife and environment
conservation.

Locate a press release addressing a scandal or other setback related to
your chosen topic. This press release may address individuals involved in the
field or movement or an issue which affects the field or movement
itself.

First, explain the nature of the scandal or setback, how this scandal
affected an individual’s career or the field or movement as a whole, and what
details of the scandal that the press release addressed or ignored.

Next, discuss the role of the mass media in reporting this scandal and
why it was newsworthy. Discuss the journalistic, political, and societal purpose
of reporting it, and how the press release was written to mitigate the public
response to the scandal. Also, discuss why a press release was preferable – for
the client or the public – to the alternatives, such as tabloids, blogs, and
rumors.
