i dont you should worry that everyone in your class is using the same feature article. its how you present your assesment is what matters plus, if you get the sunday paper on a regular basis, theres always something if not, the next week, that says something on the notion of telling the truth.
i did frontline, and for my related material, i decided to pinpoint the Greg Hodge and Emma Fuller case of how the swim coach was stalking the young swimmer and "ancted innapropriately" around her. the feature articel i found was not about the issue, but about coaches in general harrassing and molesting their students. this came under the option of "manipulation" and "ratings" rather than "telling the truth".

You could always use Bill Clintons confession... if you have about 4hrs to listen to it

also, the Tampa/children overboard scandal

edit: also the watergate scandal

 

[cro_angel]

i did the leunig comic called lies, a song called media by the john butler trio and an article about big brother..
i think the lies comic and song are pretty similar though

i do not get the notion of telling the truth i am doin it in term 2 and want to start looking can someone tell me what is about and what type of material i need?

its very vague.

one thing that comes to mind is that absolute truth cannot be attained, perhaps doesnt exist. there are always different versions of an event. truth is subjective.

 

[kimmeh]

the way it is represented and the ways it is manipulated. bias and stuff like that

i found a good one
its a poem
Nothing to Report- by May Herschel Clarke
One minute we was laughin', me an' Ted,
The next, he lays beside me grinnin' - dead.
There's nothin' to report,' the papers said.

[explanation] It was written in the 1940s during the war times, when conscription (forcing guys to fight in war) was big. The media played a big part in getting soldiers to fight because they only showed the heroic side of fighting, but not all the dying. So when she says there is nothing to report.. they are hiding the truth about death being a big part of war
hope that helps
