This assignment is the fourth in a series of 4 assignments on the same topic. The assignments build upon each other.

As described you wrote two articles (Parts 1 and 2) as if you were an investigative reporter who has been assigned to research important issues (ethnic, racial, gender, or class) that are affecting people in a local area, workplace, or specific part of the world. The articles are for a major publication (magazine or newspaper). Your goal was to provide both an in-depth analysis of and put a human face on an issue. After publication, your editor has asked that you provide a summary of your articles using Google Slides or PowerPoint for a meeting of the National Association of Journalists, so the members can determine if the series should win one of its top three prizes for investigative reporting.

Requirements

Develop a 10–12 slide presentation in which you:

1. Revise the ideas and concepts from Parts 1 and 2 of your articles, based on your professor's feedback, to include the ideas in your presentation as needed.
2. In addition to posting to the discussion board, submit the slide presentation to the assignment location to receive credit.

Your slide deck should:

1. Introduce the topic area with a quote, question, and/or statistic, along with an overview and a thesis statement. (Grab the audience’s interest.)

4. Describe 1–2 groups of people affected by the issue/problem, including 1–2 quotes and/or paraphrased comments from the people affected.
5. Propose 2–3 changes (economic, social, political, legal, et cetera) that could possibly improve the situation.
6. Highlight 2–3 likely challenges (economic, social, political, legal, et cetera) to achieving the proposed change(s).
7. Provide a brief logical response to each of the challenges. 
8. Highlight 2–3 possible benefits (economic, social, political, legal, et cetera) that could be realized following the proposed change(s).
9. Include 2–3 thought-provoking questions to which the audience should be asked to respond.
10. Provide a summary of the articles you have written that includes a quote, question, and/or statistic, along with a call for readers to respond by taking some specific action.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
