Select a current topic in the media (internationally recognized outlets such as BBC, NYT, Economist etc.), create a fact-based summary and formulate a research question applying the criteria of King et al. I need help in answering this question please it’s my first time. Thank you.

Could you possibly do a video on how to create a good research title?

[@florianschneider8144]

That would definitely be a good topic. I can't promise anything (it's going to be a busy new academic year), but I've made a note.

You're more than welcome. I'm afraid I can't comment on individual questions, due to time constraints, but feel free to post it if you think someone else here might have input.
