You can find videos of him on Youtube. Make sure that the paper is in APA format–it is worth 20% of the paper. When using APA format just do the citations within the paper as well as in the bibliography (you do not need to do abstract, etc). Your citations in your bibliography do not count toward the word count.

Apply course material we are presently discussing to current events. To do this, you must select a news article from a legitimate news source (beware of fake news!). Check out this resource to see where “bias” seems to fall with some favorite news sources (copy and paste into your browser):
The news article is to be relatively recent, such as within the past 6 months.
In summary format, make sure you address who, what, where, when of the article. Be sure to integrate course material/concepts into your summary to show why you chose the article and how it applies to the course.
