current events in Europe by reading articles from European newspapers. Below is a list of suggested sources, although this is by no means a comprehensive list; any European media source in English is acceptable. After you have familiarized yourself with these sources, you will need to choose two articles from two different sources on two different topics. Any subject relevant to modern Europe – politics, international relations, domestic affairs, culture, et cetera – is acceptable.
Prior to the first class, you will need to complete a three-four paragraph write-up (double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 font) that briefly explains the content of each article as well as its significance to contemporary Europe. You may write this explanation in either first or third person.
