Problem Based Learning 01 - Part 03

Now that you have a good idea of what a good piece of news is like, create one of your own newscast based on the NTU Stabbing incident. By comparing with as many different sources as you can, you are to report from your own perspective on what could have happened ensuring that your reporting is as unbiased as possible.

Requirements:

1. You need to create a less than 10 minute newscast using the equipment in the Pulse Studio only.

2. You will need to include the following portions in your newscast:
a. A brief summary of what happened…
b. Explain the possible reasons why would a student want to stab his professor…
c. A discussion with an “expert” on one of the reasons why a student would want to stab his professor…
d. An interview with student/s on their views on this story…
e. A conclusion on what are the possible steps students should take when they face similar situations.

Please remember that a good newscast needs to satisfy the following requirements:

1. Journalists should have a neutral point of view, not taking a stand on any issues on which there is some disagreement. Instead, journalists are simply to report "both sides" of an issue.
2. It should mean reporting things without bias.
3. They need to be fair and accurate.
