$2.$You work as a DJ at a local radio station. A friend is considering getting into podcasting and is looking for advice on the best microphones to buy. Your friend has a limited budget. They would like you to do some research and provide at least three solutions $($types of microphones$)$ for comparison$/$evaluation based on at least three assessment criteria to come up with the best solution. Compose a report informing them of your findings with one overall recommendation Task:

To accomplish your task, provide a $5-$page report for your employer that provides your supervisor with clear results and provides your reasoning with the help of legitimate research.

$$ The report must have at least three assessment criteria.

$$ The report must have a recommendation based on research. There must be at least three sources, and these sources must be cited along APA lines.

$$ The report must begin by explaining why the product or service is needed

$$ The report must have at least one graphic, which must be practical and not merely aesthetic. This graphic must be generated by the student; it cannot be simply cut and pasted from another source.

Expectations:

The report should follow the basic structure of a yardstick report, and include at least the following sections:

$$Introduction $($provide context, outline the problem briefly$)$

$$Problem$/$Situation $($describe the problem in detail$)$

$$Data$/$Research$/$Criteria $($outline the results of your research$)$

$$Discussion$/$Analysis $($explain how your research will help solve the problem or answer the question$)$

$$Findings$/$Conclusion $($provide your recommendations based on your analysis of the research$)$

Even though the company and the company$$s need for a product is fictional, the product that students will research must be real, so the research must be real.
