Gen-Editorial

Writing an Editorial

It’s 1975 and you are a Cambodian journalist in Cambodia.  The Khmer Rouge has taken power and has already begun implementing their reconstruction of Cambodia, now Kampuchea.

Taking the position as either a Khmer Rouge supporter or opposition, you are to write a newspaper editorial about how the country has changed since the Khmer Rouge has taken power.  As a supporter you may write about why things have improved.  If you are the opposition you may write about why things have gotten worse.

In your opinionated editorial you will cover the following criteria:

-          Who are you?

-          Where are you?

-          What is happening?

-          Why is this happening?

-          When is this happening?

-          How did this come about?

-          Do you agree/disagree with what is happening?

-          What do you hope will happen? Why?

Your editorial should be one page, typed and is due no later than May 14.  Use information from our lectures to help form your opinion and answer the necessary details for your editorial.

************You can also do this from the perspective of a journalist during the Holocaust if that is easier for you:)
