business newspaper/magazine about an event that has
implications for marketing. The event must be related to one or

instances, you may need to search for additional articles related
to the event. These articles will give you additional information
that enhances your understanding of the event and will be
useful in the analysis of the event. Include all the articles you
read that helped you in your list of references.

respect to the marketing environments and marketing
strategies. How to analyze the event: Ask yourself as many
marketing-related questions as you can think of.
