Working as a tutor I came through tons of essays and here is a list of a couple of the most interesting topics my students have written about that I find quite successful:
- Is satire and comedy news a good way to stay informed?
- What is “fake news?”
- Is there such a thing as “unbiased reporting?”
- What is the best role for news reporters in a digital era?
- Does reporting by ordinary citizens actually give us better news?
- Will newspapers go out of business or become only digital?
- Is crowdfunded journalism going to be an important trend?
- Is our news coverage too narrow?
- How helpful is “fact checking” of speeches?
- What role should race play in American identity?
