Amu3451 Freedom And Control Assessment Answer

Stakeholder/Policy PR statement (10%) Students prepare a press release outlining the major arguments from their video. This press release is designed to sway public opinion in favor of the policy perspective that the student is arguing for. So for instance, in the scenario ‘Netflix vs. The Malaysian Censorship Board’, a student representing Netflix would prepare a press release outlining their arguments why Netflix should remain uncensored in Malaysia. The group representing the Malaysian Censorship Board would prepare a press release expressing their reasons for wanting to censor Netflix in Malaysia. These press statements operate as a Public Relations exercise for the policy actors involved, designed to be distributed via the media, and to sway public opinion towards their desired policy position or intervention. As in the video, this exercise is not about the opinions of the students involved – rather it is an exercise in persuasion. Construct the best possible argument using professional and articulate language. Students should think of this statement as a press release, designed to sway readers towards their desired policy position. Criteria for marking: - Statement demonstrates a clear understanding of the issue involved - Statement demonstrates a clear understanding of the policy position of the stakeholder represented - Statement utilises articulate and persuasive language and discourse - Statement utilises professional language - Argument is persuasive
