Week 3 Dealing With Informal Sources
Review “The People Formerly Known as the Audience” in the Electronic Reserve Readings.
Locate two recent news stories about your project topic. Pay attention to the comments section and to the share function (to share on social media sites). Consider how the audience receives and creates information and how social media affects the way people receive information.
Write a 350- to 700-word blog in which you briefly discuss the effects the online audience can have on a story’s content, credibility, and trending, particularly as it relates to your topic. Address the following questions:
• How might this affect the way you write your story?
• How is quoting informal information from an interview different from quoting information from online comments?
• Why is it important to be accurate and attribute sources?

Week 3 Dealing With Informal Sources
Each student will choose a publicly traded company and perform an expanded analysis on the financial statements. Please use the most current financial statements available on www.sec.gov. Perform horizontal and vertical analysis, selected liquidity, profitability, and solvency ratios, and other selected financial ratios. A one page executive summary outlining the basic financial health of the company and a brief opinion of the company’s forecasted financial health will be required with the calculations attached as appendices in Excel with formulas.
Read more about the final project by viewing portfolio project rubric part 1 and portfolio project rubric part 2.
At this point in time, select the publicly traded company that you want to use for the portfolio project and submit it via the Assignment dropbox called Submissions for your instructor to review.
