As we hit the home stretch to the May 14 high stakes tests, the first one to answer in the comment section on this post the answer to the question: "What is Horse Race Journalism?" will win a prize to be presented on Monday.
You should watch to the two posted flipped videos here. Above, Imam Khomeini - The Man Who Changed The World | Iran & The West. Also, extra credit available for watching ARGO and writting a summary that ties the film to our current study of Iran. Below, Griding Poverty in Oil-Rich Niger Delta. Given the country's vast oil reserves, Nigerians should theoretically be among the wealthiest populations in the world. But for the people of the Niger Delta poverty, conflict and corruption are a daily reality.
You will have a take-home exam on Iran, Nigeria and other second semester final given on 5/1, due on 5/6. You may want to check out the College Board Briefing papers on Nigeria and Iran.

Horse race journalism is political journalism of elections that resembles coverage of horse races because of the focus on polling data, public perception instead of candidate policy, and almost exclusive reporting on candidate differences rather than similarities
I WILL TAKE MY PRIZE NOW KIND SIR.
