Chapter Simulation
Introduction
Before embarking on this simulation, make sure you have read Chapter 7.
In this simulation, you are cast in the role of editor-in-chief of a significant daily newspaper. Your task will be to make decisions about the stories on your front page, while answering to your readers and your publisher.
Your duties include deciding what is news, editing your reporters’ stories, writing headlines that will grab the attention of the readers, and publishing issues that will increase circulation despite the competition of other mainstream news and less rigorous tabloids. More circulation leads to more advertising revenue and thus a stronger bottom line. You must do all of this while maintaining the integrity of your newspaper and your standing as a journalist.
