Voters narrowly rejected a controversial measure to approve raising taxes for the construction of a new sports arena. Compare and contrast the standard approach to reporting on the vote with an approach based on critical thinking.
What will be an ideal response?
The standard approach to reporting on the vote would focus largely on the basic facts of the story. These would include information such as the final vote tally, information on which public figures supported or opposed the measure and any notable quotes from supporters or opponents. A reporter engaged in critical thinking, however, would dive deeper into the issue, analyzing trends in voters’ attitudes toward tax increases and any other factors that may have led the majority to reject the measure. The story would also clarify for readers how the measure would have affected them if it had passed, and what effect, if any, it will have now that it has failed.
