Progressive Era News :)

So... the idea is to choose a person or group of people,

be sure to identify all the cohorts- 

Identify the issue confronted,

detail the steps taken to ameliorate the situation,

include changes that occurred as a result,

and assess the effectiveness of the efforts made.

 

Format:

Make a series of fake news broadcasts,

a "20/20" type expose, or...

 

Should be ten minutes in length,

must be playable in room 106,

and should be work you are proud of.
