Question

Andrew is asked to write an article for his school newspaper, focusing on the changes being made to the budget. In the past, 20% of the budget was designed for the sports programs at the school; however, now that amount will drop 10%. Andrew is a student athlete and participates in several sports teams at his school. How might this affect his objectivity of coverage? Write a full paragraph explaining your reasoning

Answer 1

Andrew is a student athlete at his school so the budget cuts which affect the sports programs at the school affect him personally as they may affect his team. For this reason, Andrew's objectivity may be influenced when he writes the article for his school newspaper. For example, he might express his opinion in the article either directly or indirectly and thus automatically the article stops being objective.
