Selecting a Topic

Think of a subject you are interested in and would like to know more about. A topic that is researchable is typically;

  • Not too broad or too narrow
  • Written about by journalists, academics, or professionals in a field of study
  • Interesting to you and your reader
  • is complex and can't be answered by a simple "yes" or "no"
