What to Focus On
- Reporting means gathering facts about current events.
- It is done through interviews, investigations, and observation.
- Reporters write stories called 'copies'.
- Objectivity: Reporters must remain neutral and not show bias.
- Accuracy: Facts and figures must be correct and verified.
- Substantial: Stories should be well-researched and informative.
- Hard News: Immediate, urgent, and fact-based (e.g., elections, accidents).
- Soft News: Light and interesting but not urgent (e.g., celebrity events).
- Features: In-depth and detailed stories, often in magazine sections.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The lead of a news story should always be long and detailed to give full context.
All news stories are written in the same way, regardless of the topic.
Reporters can include opinions if they believe the facts are obvious.
