Craft Research Finding

Experts

November 11 2014

Who is an expert

ldquoReporters spend their lives on the learning curve They frequently find themselves investigating a

subject they know little about If it involves complicated material mdash a public budget a disease

uranium enrichment mdash it can be a harrowing experience trying to write a story for the next days

paper

Reporters working on an investigative or enterprise story usually have weeks or months to dig into a

subject Thats not enough time to become an expert but it should be enough time to produce a story

that experts would respect For the most part theres nothing fancy in getting up to speed on a new

subject or a new place Its a lot of reading and interviewing The best reporters are humble enough

to ask dumb questions (two or three times if need be) smart enough to know what they dont know

and brave enough to let go of their first impressionsrdquo
