Describe the specific focus of the initiative you are designing to address some aspect of your topic and explain what the goals of the initiative are.

Collaboration and Partnerships and Identifying Stakeholders

For this assignment, everything is written out already, but need it in paragraphs format.

This assignment is a part 2/2 assignment. Part 1 was completed and will be attached for reference.

The assignment instruction is as follow:

1, For this assignment, identify and describe the stakeholders you would recruit to be part of the collaborative effort based on the topic you worked on for the qualitative news analysis project (this part was completed by the student already…Please see the attachment to view. )

2. First, in a paragraph, describe the specific focus of the initiative you are designing to address some aspect of your topic and explain what the goals of the initiative are. In other words, what does your initiative wish to accomplish? Try to be as specific as possible in terms of what outcomes your initiative would hope to achieve and what target population it would be directed to.

Second, identify all of the stakeholders you would try to recruit to be part of your initiative. Be as specific as possible when identifying stakeholders although you do not have to identify individuals by name or organization. For example, you might select "someone from law enforcement" which would be too vague whereas "the chief of police from the community where this initiative will take place" would be specific enough. For each stakeholder, explain:

why you would want them to be part of your collaborative team

Indicate whether they are a primary, secondary, or key stakeholder

Indicate what their main interests in your initiative would be (be as specific as possible)

Indicate whether you would put them into the category of the promoter, defender, latent, or apathetic stakeholder and why.

Student idea: This is what I propose for the stakeholder initiative:

Initiative to Draft Dignity in Death Policy

This initiative aims to draft a dignity in death policy for New York State, to advocate for the adoption of this policy into law, and to educate citizens about the options available for people who are facing end-of-life challenges.

Paper will be graded based on the following:

The clarity of the description of your initiative

The thoroughness/completeness in identifying the stakeholder group

Specificity of identification of each stakeholder

Identification of each stakeholder as primary, etc.

Description of each stakeholder's main interests

Categorization and rationale of each stakeholder as a defender, etc.
