  1. Instructions National Journal Group Presentation Center Fellowship Assignment Please select a major news story and create a one-slide presentation in PowerPoint format that summarizes and illustrates one of the main points/takeaways of that story. You may select any story you like. There is no one “right” answer to the assignment; we are most interested in seeing how you analyze the news material and choose to present your analysis. Your submission will be evaluated by the following criteria: • Quality of titling and text • Economy of words • Use of layout and graphical representation to visually “teach” the main point • Originality of insight and framing of the issue(s) Your presentation should be only one slide, include a link to reference your source article, and be completed within 48 hours. “Pipeline Spills Stir New Criticism” New York Times 2 April 2013 Hayden Higgins 5 April 2013
