Journal: Effective, Consistent, and Ethical Communication

Information is used in various ways, including as a tool to gain support, influence behaviors and decisions, and alter one's perspectives. When you encounter new information, does it sway your opinion? The source of the information, the way it is presented, and the people or issue (s) that benefit from public reaction to the information all play a role in determining quality information. As both a consumer and producer of information, it is important to consider the methods used to effectively and ethically communicate to a broad audience

In this week's Journal Assignment, you examine the effectiveness of your Group Project.

The Assignment:
