As background,
you will answer general questions that Pete Peterson posed to everyone
at the first meeting. Some of the research can be incorporated into
your report. Then in your article, you will answer specific questions
that you were assigned.
As Government
and Policy reporters, your job is to address what government can
do and is doing.
You need to
identify the key players in mosquito control in the state and county.
After answering the basic question, the newspaper editor has asked
the government reporters to find out how the laws are promoting
mosquito control. What are the New Jersey laws that govern mosquito
control? Are there Mosquito Control (sometimes called Extermination)
Commissions in all counties in New Jersey? Does Middlesex County
have a MCC? What is its history.
Research your
area of responsibility. (Use Internet sources, library resources,
and interviews)
Take notes on
answering the questions posed; see if other questions should be
asked (add these questions)
Write an article
of 700 to 1000 words on your topic. Your first draft should include
all references either as end notes or in the body of the text. Your
