Write a four-page “curatorial journalism” report on a contemporary “newsworthy” subject of your choosing. “The End of Hard News”, a piece of curatorial journalism compiles the “unreplicable quotient” of a large number of reliable major-media investigative reports on a given subject, meaning that part of such articles that provides information few or no other articles on the subject provide, and, by conjoining these with a brief and basic and sourced summary of the topic, creates, in a relatively brief space, a piece of journalism offering not just the basics of a topic but obscure-yet-relevant-and-important details on the subject from a large number of sources. A few notes:

a. Three pages from a work of curatorial journalism addressing (among other topics) the recent hostilities between Russia and Ukraine have been added to this week’s Module as an exemplar of what a report based in curatorial journalism might read like.

b. You should drop a footnote (use the “Insert Footnote” button on Microsoft Word) at the end of every sentence that takes information from a source you are using, though I’m not going to be a stickler for formatting in this instance. In other words, each footnote can simply read, “[Author’s Name], [Media Outlet] (in italics), [Web Address].”

c. Your four-page curatorial journalism assignment should curate at least twenty (20) different news articles, but all of these can be ones you locate digitally via Google News or other simple search engines. Remember that curatorial journalism is a form of “metajournalism,” so it is expected, and not in any sense a problem, for all of the building blocks of your report to be existing published reports. This said, you should only use material from reliable major-media outlets, something I will leave it to you to assess but will say this about: I’ll be looking for you to use media outlets that have been around for some time, that are generally well-respected, that have an editorial structure, that do not use anonymous authors, and that are generally seen as having made contributions in the past to the topic you are working on (as well as any other standards in this vein you may devise).

d. At its core, a work of curatorial journalism is like a “summary” or “explainer” of a newsworthy topic, with one key difference: it is deliberately trying to not just survey the topic but find far-flung reports that add critical information to what we might normally imagine would be the “focus” paragraph of a “normative” report on the topic at hand.

Format: All work must be double-spaced in the text proper, in Times New Roman, 12 point font, with 1′ margins on all sides. A page number should appear in the bottom center of every page following the first page.
