Find a story about your country (Egypt) published this year (2019) in Africa-based media and in Western-based. You may find a report in both media about the same subject, or you may not. Choosing different subjects is fine. Summarize the story/stories very briefly in your own words – content, significance – and briefly compare and contrast the choice of subject, coverage, and approach. Are different stories published in Africa compared to the West? How thorough is the reporting in the West about Africa? Be ready to discuss your findings – both what you find and what you don’t find — in section. CONSIDERING THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH WE ARE ALL LIVING FOCUS ON STORIES ABOUT CORONAVIRUS.
