Memo: Major Analysis Project
Title: Interview Questions for Roberta Combs, President of the Christian Coalition of America
Genre: interview
Publication: it could be for any newspaper or magazine
Audience: Even though I was attempting to be objective, I think my opinion still came through. Once again, my audience is broad, say the same audience of a major daily.
Brief Analysis: I wanted to ask her questions that got at the heart of the matter. I want to know why a religious organization would somewhat permanently associate themselves with one party. I wanted to know why the coalition was formed and what principles they governed by, and how that has changed or not changed over the years. That is why I asked her about women's rights, especially since she is in a role that a man is usually in.
I understand that people will unite based on certain issues, but I wanted to ask her questions about other issues, issues that have more to do with politics than religion. I asked her about healthcare because of this.
