Why is it important to research both the local and national conversations about an issue? How do the conversations inform and influence each other? What questions should advocates be answering when researching an issue?
What will be an ideal response?
The students should focus on how local and national conversations provide advocates with
additional resources (e.g., they provide different narratives and arguments which the advocate
might not otherwise know. It allows the advocate to become better informed and establish
credibility.) In response to how the conversations inform and influence each other, students
might discuss how they provide different information that helps to constitute and inform people’s
knowledge about an issue. The textbook, for instance, discusses how local news might contain
reference to a specific environmental issue that might not be reported by national news.
However, national news might report on larger environmental issues that also inform the public
about the problem.
