Now, imagine the UCI school newspaper has asked to interview you about your advice to incoming freshmen.
They will publish your advice -- and your name – as a Q&A on the front page of the newspaper, which will be
mailed to all UCI students’ permanent addresses (yep, probably where your parents live!) and distributed on
newsstands throughout campus (yep, your professors might read this!).
We’ve had a major change of platform! Who is your new audience? Do you recycle the tips you already
emailed to your friend, or do you rewrite them for this new, broader audience? (Probably the latter.) Make a
new list of tips here.
Let’s further consider this platform. Who reads the school newspaper? What kind of topics do they publish
articles on? How do their articles differ in tone compared to what you might send to a friend in an email?
Step back, again. What’s the purpose of this article? What’s the context? Hold up – it sounds like this is the
time for (another!) rhetorical triangle. Draw one of those, and fill it out with the corresponding information. (You
don't need to post a photo of your triangle, but you should describe what you list for each part of it).
