Write an essay analyzing a specific issue related to the news media. An analysis can take many forms, such as a comparison, or a study of the inner workings of something. Thus:You could compare a couple different types of news media — how does print media differ from broadcast media, for example?Or how does one particular newspaper or news station differ from another one? You could focus on one type of media, or even on one franchise (like the Fresno Bee) and look into how the news is produced and what decisions have to be made, business or otherwise.You can focus on controversial issues, such as whether reporters should be allowed to shield their sources or what standards of conduct are appropriate when it comes to reporting sensitive information (such as deaths).You can look at trends in the news media-why are newspapers experiencing declining revenues and what are they doing about it, how is the growth of Internet news sites and blogs affecting the traditional media, or is the consolidation of media into a few large companies a good or bad trend?Whatever approach you use, your analysis should lead you to suggest improvements or solutions to problems or to take a stand for or against a trend, etc.

ECONOMICS
1. Suppose MPC is 0.8 initially. Households then change their behavior so that the MPC falls to 0.75. What happens to aggregate expenditures? Why?
2. What is a consumption function? Describe the graph of a consumption function and explain its shape. If total spending is consumption plus investment spending, how does an increase in the interest rate affect total spending?
3. For each of the following, explain whether it shifts the short-run aggregate supply curve, the long-run aggregate supply curve, or the aggregate demand curve (or more than one of these).
a. Households decide to save a smaller share of their disposable income.
b. There is an 8-week strike in the steel industry.
c. A drought in the Midwest causes poor wheat harvest.
d. The labor force participation rate increases.
4. Explain what would cause the government purchases function to increase. Will a change in social security spending affect government purchases?
5. How is an aggregate demand curve derived? What would cause the aggregate demand curve to shift to the right?
6. It is often said that we are passing our national debt on to our children and grandchildren. Is this true? Explain.
7. How do automatic stabilizers differ from discretionary fiscal policy tools?
8. Distinguish between crowding out and crowding in.
9. What problems are associated with the U.S. federal budget process? What solutions have been offered to these problems?
10. In what ways can fiscal policy affect aggregate supply?
