• The report should be 2,000 – 2,200 words in length, excluding references.

• You only need to choose ONE article, from the past 12 months.  If maybe you’ve found a great, fabulous article and it is 18 months old and you really want to use it, then this is ok.  We are allowing some flexibility in the age of the article but anything over 2 years
• Make sure that you include a web link to the article

Below are examples of media articles that are NOT good choices and examples of GOOD decisions.  You’ll see that the poor choices of articles do not give you enough information to critically evaluate and expand the discussion so that you can demonstrate your own knowledge of CCM theory.  You’ll need to talk about how the article illustrates one or more of the CCM theoretical principles
