The Kentucky Horse Park has the opportunity to host a major event in the equestrian world. As a result, local news outlets have bombarded us with not only the actual coverage of the WEG, but all the preparation leading up to it.
If you could attend the games, which event would you like to attend? (Conduct some research to learn about the events if needed.) Why would you select this one?
In your opinion, do you feel the media is overdoing or underdoing the coverage of the games? Explain your answer.
Due at the end of the period today.

Getting in the Habit of Watching the News
Paying attention to the news is an important part of being a journalism student.
By Thursday, tell me about a hard news story that caught your attention this week. By hard news, I'm referring to something that's meant to inform (weather, political news, product recall, last minute preparation for the Equestrian games, etc.) Avoid a summary of the latest celebrity gossip for this assignment.
Summary the news story in 2-3 sentences and be sure to tell me your source of the news. (It can't be your mom or older brother.)
