Tips for Compiling a Winning Case Study:

• Start early! The best entries contain articles taken from USA TODAY over time so don't wait until the last minute. If your college does not receive copies of the USA TODAY, talk to the college administration about the benefits of the Community College Readership Program. You may also contact your local library to find out if copies are available for your reference.
• Each Case Study should be based on four to five articles taken from the print edition of USA TODAY between June 30, 2008 and February 27, 2009. All of the articles should relate to the paradox of affluence. As you read the newspaper, select a recurring topic in the news that is interesting to you and watch for articles that explore that topic from various perspectives. Copies of the articles do not have to be included in the entry.
• Each Case Study should suggest up to six resources for additional study. The best resources are scholarly resources, such as journal articles, chapters from scholarly volumes, books, etc. Websites and articles from other newspapers are also accepted. Ideally, you should suggest a variety of resources for further study.
