Im having trouble finding a good article for this assignment.. any help?

news article that you wish to do your paper on with the study type and explanatory and response variables identified. Please note that this is to be a news article from a mainstream media source (not a scholarly journal article or conference paper), i.e. something that the general public is likely to encounter.





Possible search terms: "Study proves", "study shows", "research proves", "research shows", "scientists prove", and so on. You may use a thesaurus for more ideas for search terms. Search only one idea at a time, i.e. search for "study shows".

composition= strictly journalistic-who, what ,where, when ,how, using the best of the English language, written at the tenth grade level-ho ho ho|||The New York Times and the LA Times both have good science sections. You should be able to find lots of articles about research. Instead of litterally searching for "study proves," try just looking at the science articles to see if they are about experimental research.





When I took a Biology Technical Writing class we had to use the New York Times to learn how to write a news article about science.
