Paper instructions:

Write a press release of 4-5 paragraphs, suitable for publication in, let’s say, the Washington Post, announcing the introduction of “New Public Administration.”  An effective press release should:

tell the story accurately but simply,
have a lead sentence that makes me want to read the rest of it,
save details for the end, and of course
use short paragraphs, short sentences, and active voice verbs.
It would be a good idea to assume that readers have a high-school graduate’s knowledge of government, and so will not necessarily know why “New Public Administration” is different from whatever they learned in school or elsewhere. You should look to include references from your readings, however rather than APA style, you can pretend you interviewed the authors for your new article.

Readings:
Holzer: Public Administration (2nd Edition)

Toward a New Public Administration, H. George Frederickson
