Welcome to the News Blog!

 Welcome to the blog to post the News articles!

Two of you need to post one news summary daily from Monday to Friday. These summaries should be 400 words long and should provide key aspects of the topic - the background, key issues / features, impact and significance etc.  Please stick to business related stories only.

While posting please maintain the following guidelines:

• The posts should be original. No copy paste from websites / other sources
• Avoid sensitive topics that cover politics / race / anything that is disrespectful to other
• The blog should have an introduction to cover the background/a short history, definition of the topic, why the topic is important for a business school students etc.    
• It should have data. Data could be qualitative or quantitative. 
• The analysis – all blogs should have an analysis. This portion is the most vital and is your opinion or comment. It should be analytical and critical in nature.  One of the ways to write this is to speak in terms of how the news/event could affect business from a political, economic, social, cultural and technological perspective.  This will help you develop original views on the topic.
• Use Labels that are meaningful to help in retrieving the articles of interest at a later date.
• While the use of images / pictures is optional, feel free to do it, if it adds value.
  

The blog should be posted by 11.00PM at the latest on the day it is due.  If some one is unable to post due to exception circumstances, the same need to be intimated to me over a message / mail.

You are most welcome to add comments on the blogs posted by others.  Such comments should be constructive in nature and should cover any aspect that was missed out in the original blog / factual errors etc.  Kindly avoid messages like 'Excellent', 'Good Job' etc.

Looking forward to a fruitful and engaging experience!
