1. What was the “theme” your group selected for your front page, and how did you select it? How did the articles you selected fit within that theme?
The theme my group selected for our front page is smartphones. We chose to use this topic because the impact of smartphones are relevant to the daily lives of many Baruch students, if not, our generation.
2. What was your individual role in the group process working on the NYT project?
My role in the group was to write two articles on smartphones, both on the global and national scale.
3. How has your experience within this project influenced your understanding of “news literacy”?Provide a link to your NYT Front Page Project.
My experience from working on this project did not greatly influence me on “news literacy.” Outside of this project, I am already aware and up to date with most of the significant discussions on the news.
