Locate an image that was published widely in the news, that is controversial in some way. For example, it may be an image that caused quite a stir amongst citizens $($I$\text{'}$m thinking of an image of Donald Trump's sons, sitting beside a dead exotic animal they'd hunted, which provoked anger back in North America when mainstream articles about it were published$).$ Or$,$ it may be an image that had significant consequences for someone or a group of people: for example, the image of an unconscious victim in the Steubenville sexual assault case $($Ohio$,2011),$ which was shared on social media by bystanders, then in mainstream news. This image $($aka documented evidence$)$ ultimately led to a guilty conviction for the football players charged with harming the teenaged girl.Ultimately, whatever controversial image you choose, it can be from North American news or international news.You will submit this assignment in the form of a Discussion forum post $($SLATE $-->$ Communication $-->$ Discussion $-->$ Student Presentation Assignment $(5\%)),$ as well as discuss it briefly in class:Make sure:$1)$ It appeared in mainstream media $($print$,$ TV or online news is fine$).$ Make sure you save and$/$or screengrab the image and take down important info, including in what mainstream source it was published$\mathrm{.}2)$ To tell us why you chose this image.

For example, you may wish to discuss any ethical or privacy $($or other!$)$ issues that come up in relation to the image. Or$,$ perhaps you can discuss some disputes that emerged about the photo.

You do not have to have a presentation on slides: just your photo and your thoughtful and cogent commentary are enough.$***$For the in class discussion portion, make sure to offer a content warning BEFORE you show the image, if for any reason you think it could trigger someone. While post$-$secondary education is all about discussing a range of issues, whether we like them or not, and we all have to accept this, the fact is that some people have experienced trauma and are susceptible to triggering, which can be immensely difficult. Let's help those people avoid triggering by giving them a choice.
