In this post, I will be identifying 2-3 specific groups of individuals who could potentially be my audience for Project 3 (my act of public speech).
1. Journalists or future journalists learning about failures of journalism or simply the Rolling Stone UVA rape failure.
Like me, future journalists are interested in learning more about journalism successes as well as its failures. To understand and meet the requirements and expectations of professional journalism, one must observe the mistakes of journalism as well. Because the Rolling Stone UVA rape scandal was recent and had such an impact on journalism concerning rape and sexual assault, it is still a hot topic for journalists to learn and gossip about.
Where would you publish your research?
2. Rolling Stone & fanatics or anti-fanatics
Rolling Stone has been keeping up with the good, but mostly bad, press that has followed their UVA rape article scandal. They are aware of the mistakes they made in publishing the article and of the consequences that have followed those mistakes. Additionally, many people's views on Rolling Stone have been altered since the retraction of the article.

Where would you publish your research?
- Article
- Similar to the articles that I have been referring to for my own research, I could write a magazine or online article for my act of public speech. Writing in this genre, with magazine or online magazine articles in particular, is an easy and effective way of get the desired information and argument across to my targeted audience.
- Interview Q & A
2. Rolling Stone & fanatics or anti-fanatics

Additionally, many people's views on Rolling Stone have been altered since the retraction of the article.
Where would you publish your research?
- Article Review
- Though it has already been done many times by several journalists, I could write a review to Rolling Stone's UVA rape article, for my act of public speech, that explains where, in my opinion, Rolling Stone went wrong. The Columbia School of Journalism review is the best example I can think of that picked apart the process and failures of Erdley's story and Jackie's alleged rape.
- Quick Reference Guide
- Although I am not allowed to write in this specific genre because I already have for Project 1, it would be an effective way to organize my information, especially since a lot of the information is spread out over the past year. It took a long time and a lot of work to investigate Jackie's alleged rape as well as where Rolling Stone went wrong.
