As a sports information, or public relations person in the sports industry, you will write a lot of news/press releases. Write your own sports news release on a sports topic
focus on whether you were able to garner all the necessary information about the person, place, or thing based on the release.
“A press release is simply a statement prepared for distribution to the news media announcing something claimed as having news value with the intent of gaining media coverage.”
The release should provide who, what, where, when, why, and how in the first one or two sentences. This is the opening paragraph, and should never be more than one paragraph.
The body of the news release should provide additional information pertinent to the subject. Depending on the release, the body should be one or two paragraphs, with each paragraph being three to five sentences. The body is the story part of the news release.
The last paragraph is the boilerplate. This provides an overview of the company or organization, a quick snapshot. This is similar to the About Us section of most company websites, although the boilerplate may be a shortened version.
All press releases need to include point of contact information, which goes at the very top. There should also be something that signifies the end. Many public relations people will center ### at the bottom of the page to signify the end. In the sports industry it is also common to see the team name, initials, or such at the end of the list.

Title: “Exploring the Development of Walking in Children: A Critical Analysis of a Pediatric Study” Introduction As a research assistant at a pediatric office, I was tasked with analyzing a study on child development. After conducting a thorough search in

“The New Deal Debate: Exploring the Perspectives of David M. Kennedy and Burton Folsom” Introduction: The New Deal, implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in response to the Great Depression, has been a topic of intense controversy and
Since its passing, the New Deal has remained a topic of substantial controversy and debate among historians and the general public alike. For this assignment, you will read two different perspectives on the New Deal by major U.S. historians David M. Kennedy and Burton Folsom. Using both articles, the textbook, and any other readings, discussions, or lecture materials in the course, explain which view of President F.D.R. and the New Deal you find more compelling.
Assume that you are writing this paper for an undergraduate conference on the New Deal. Assume that your audience has NOT read this assignment and will attend your talk because you hooked them with an interesting title. Your paper should be approximately 1,250 words. This is approximately 5 double-spaced pages.
Which argument do you find more compelling and why? The answer to this question will provide you with a thesis statement on which to build out your analysis and argument. You will have space in this paper to write a proper introduction paragraph. Start broadly by introducing the topic and the problem at hand. Then narrow down your focus to the crux of each author’s viewpoint. End your introduction with your thesis statement. Each body paragraph should contain a topic sentence and examples from the article. Avoid quoting at length and make sure to engage in proper paraphrasing when necessary – do not simply change words around. End with a conclusion paragraph that succinctly restates your thesis and main points.
While you will be presenting your own argument on this topic, you will nonetheless want to practice speaking in an authoritative tone that allows your written arguments to do the job of persuading your readers. This means that you should avoid writing in first person. Do not use “I think” or “I believe” statements, as these tend to weaken your case by making it sound opinionated and subjective. -
Reflecting on My Communication Competence and Personal Communication Goals Self-Assessment Table: Part 1: The 7 Competencies of Effective Communication Competency | Initial Level | Current Level — | — | — 1. Understanding Yourself |
Instructions
Revisit the self-assessment you completed at the start of the course and reflect on the progress you have made with regard to your communication competence and personal communication goals. Develop your self-assessment by reevaluating your skill in The 7 Competencies of Effective Communication by Engleberg and Wynn (2015) by circling or highlighting your current level. For each narrative section in Part 1, simply state your growth, such as “I moved from average to good”; you do not need to fully reflect on each category again. Part B is the area that requires the most attention for this revisited assignment. Be sure to provide a detailed summary of your growth, drawing from what you learned in tracking your goal progress. Also, be sure to state each of your initial goals and share your outcome or progress. As you reflect, be sure to connect what you have learned from the course to your progress to demonstrate your learning.

Title: Implementing Nurse Rounding to Reduce Patient Falls: A Practice Change Proposal for Hospital Unit Managers
This unit summarizes the steps we have gone through to translate research into practice. We discussed a clinical problem and developed a PICO question. We searched for evidence and critiqued the proposed solution as seen in the literature. In the unit readings, these are presented as 11 sequential steps. We have covered the first 7 of these steps.
You will now address steps 8-11, implementing the practice change as the manager of your unit or facility. Using the unit information and information from the Library, outline the change in practice that you will theoretically initiate, based on your findings.
Develop a PowerPoint presentation to present to the staff who will be affected by the practice change you are recommending based on your evidence. In the PowerPoint Presentation address the following:
Title (start with a title page and end with a reference slide
Introduce the problem and present the evidence
Identify a model you would use to frame your change and explain why you chose it
Identify champions for change and how you will utilize them
Identify barriers to change and how you will address those
Discuss the staff education needed and how it will be provided
What is the timeline for this change?
How will the change be evaluated?
Consider: Expertise of the staff, values and attitudes of the patients, and buy-in of the stakeholders when determining how to implement your plan.
Additional Instructions:
Create a reference slide and put all references used in the presentation
Add (speaker) presenter notes which enhance the content of the slides, as if you were presenting to a group, and this is your script. In PPT, access “notes view” to see the presenter notes boxes. Slides should not contain paragraphs of narrative or complete sentences. They should contain only bullet points or brief explanations. The longer narratives belong in your presenter notes.
I have attatched my previous paper that covered weeks 1-7, to help you understand the topic. This powerpoint presentation should address how the unit manager in the hospital should implement change in regards nurse rounding to reduce patient falls. -
