Cultural Analysis of "Year End Review: Journalism Ethics Took Major Hits in 2014"

In this blog post, I will be analyzing the article I have picked for project 2. The article I have chosen to use for this next project is "Year End Review: Journalism Ethics Took Major Hits in 2014" by Tracie Powell. 

Stansbury, Addie (2015) "Project 2: Cultural Analysis Cluster" via Coggle

1. Cultural Keywords...

• "ethics"
• "distrust"
• "media"
• "credible"
• "standards"
• "technology"
• "journalism"

2. 'Circle' The Keywords in The Text... 

The most commonly used key-words in my article were "ethics", "journalism", and "media". This makes sense considering the main idea of the article is how certain media sources and journalists have failed ethically in the past year. 

3. Formulate a basic thesis or main argument of the text / 4. Draw lines out from the thesis and write out the passages / 5. Freewrite about connection between passages picked and keywords
