For 3 different Economics IA commentaries, students should find news articles that can demonstrate their theological analysis. Amongst thousands of news articles in the world of web, how to pick the very best ‘one’? Hopefully, the following will help you to find the best fit!
The Best ways to pick the best News article for Economics Commentary!
#1. Generally speaking, a big article is not a ‘better’ article!
To put it simply, a news article that contains too much information, in other words, too long, is not necessarily a 'good' article. It is best to have an article that focuses on one government intervention or policy. And above all, an article that already contains the journalist's opinion or expert evaluation is not good as well. Do try to find the one that focuses on facts and objective information!
#2. Try to find an article that includes quantitative data!
It is highly recommended to choose an article that contains as much quantitative information as possible! You know what I mean, don't you? Such as articles that contain a lot of numbers like price, quantity, %, GDP, interest rates, etc.! These data are great for drawing diagrams, deep analysis and evaluation.
#3. Be sure to use credible and renown news sources!
You should choose a news article that is credible and has been reported by the media that many people read and refer to. Especially these days, there is so much information that students are often confused as to whether this is a true factual report, a simple blog, commentary or opinion, or a proper news article!
#4. Use news aggregators to search for topics!
Instead of searching for articles on a single news media website, use an aggregator to compare different articles reported in different ways by different media on one topic and select the best article! Rather than searching for minimum wage policy in the U.K. in one news media website such as the Guardian, it is much better to search for minimum wage in the U.K. on Google and then go to the News section and check articles from various media!
#5. Don’t be afraid to search news globally (especially for the macro and global commentary)
Don't forget that in addition to the countries you know and feel familiar with, many countries around the world have similar economic policies or issues! Broadening your scope allows you to find better articles!
