The Actors Map
Exercise:
- Scan through local reports in your city or region and choose 1 news story to analyze.
- Using the actors map tool, plot the various actors of the news story based on a radio or TV clip, a newspaper report or an online report from a local news outfit.
- Using your analysis from that news report, develop further questions to enhance the news report towards multi-perspective reporting. Make sure to identify an external party to the conflict that may provide an insight that transcends beyond the conflict but towards a solution on the conflict.
- Write a new report after executing your questions to the respective sources.
