Hoaxes+by+Corrida+Tutt

Question: How do journalists become victims of hoaxes?

Research Methods: I plan to use the textbook, newspaper articles, scholarly journals and online web searches as part of my research methods.

Proposal: How do journalists become victims of hoaxes? I find this question worth researching because the public trust the credibility of journalists. I will begin by looking at what defines a hoax, how they work, and the different types of hoaxes that journalists come in contact with. I will also look at how a journalist allows hoaxes to be printed in headlines.

Great topic here! But this needs a specific focus or case study to make this compelling and important. I don't think the survey is a good idea - you don't have enough time to do it right. Use library and online research to develop real expertise on this topic, perhaps by examining news photo hoaxes of tsunamis or other disaster imagery.
