(Note that medium no longer supports word wrapping with the image above. Resist urge to “publish” above; submit to the class publication!).

Be sure to provide a brief overview of your case to precede your timeline, as it is embedded into medium.com. What was most interesting that you observed as you traced the story through the eco-system? Where did it get amplified, distorted, side-tracked, or repudiated with fact-checking? Some of you may compare different media to see how they handled it differently. What main difference might you have observed? In the timeline itself you will have provided something of a narrative through your story, but here you might just provide an overall sense of the story’s evolution. Don’t worry about getting too detailed; just explain why you thought this was a story worth dissecting in the first place. You will provide no more than 20 “slides” (or lines on the spreadsheet), which are examples only — and not intended to be comprehensive.

Don’t forget to provide subheadings (Little T)

Carry on with the rest of your commentary. You can cite things in text (Reese, 2014)
