1. Interview the editor or a news reporter for a local news agency—newspaper, radio, or television. What are the demographics—the specific breakdown of the members of the audience—by such identifiers as age, sex,

income, and race? How do the demographics affect the news reported? How does the writer appeal to this multiple audience?
How does the medium affect the message?
Ask about one broadcast or column in particular. Who is the specific audience?
What is the purpose, scope, or medium?
Write a one-page question-and-answer (Q&A) of the interview.
