sample midterm essay






Introduction

    Journalism involves gathering, writing and reporting news, and broadly it includes the process of editing and presenting the news articles. Journalism applies to various media such as magazines, newspapers, radio, television, and websites. 
In journalism, the Five W’s + H are who, what, when, where, why and how. These terms are fundamental to information-gathering in journalism. It is a formula for getting the “full” story on something. A good piece of journalism should contain all of this information.  
    Page 46 in the 2016 Hillwood High School yearbook is (or is not) an example of good journalism.

Now you should explain why or why not, incorporating the 5W's and H in your persuasive essay. 

   The page shows photographs of the four Sophomore Class Officers for the 2015-2016 school year. The viewer knows "who" they are, because each officer's name is placed beneath his or her photo."What" also has a limited explanation since the office each student holds is shown beneath the photo.
   The remaining 5W's+H, When, Where, Why and How are not included, however.

Elaborate on the remaining 5W's+H, commenting on how they might have been incorporated.
