Finding and delivering information

"When your mother says she loves you, check it out.” Arnold A. Dornfeld, editor at the City News Bureau of Chicago

In other words…Go back, make the extra phone call, make sure you have it right.

Finding informationWarm up discussion: where do you get your news? Do you think that news is reliable? Why?

NEWS IS NOT ALWAYS WHAT YOU THINK. The reliability of the information we receive is not always goodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoZNJsp3Kik&list=PLvzOwE5lWqhSrnPm-9awXCCbzybGg0GHM&index=3

Finding informationThe two reliable sources ruleMost media organisations have a rule that all facts should be confirmed by two reliable sources.Independent sources are preferable to self-interested sources.

IMVAINMultiple sources are preferable to a report based on a single source.

Sources who Verify or provide verifiable information are preferable to those who merely assert.

Authoritative and/or Informed sources are preferable to sources who are uninformed or lack authoritative background.

Named sources are better than anonymous ones.

Finding informationActivity 1: which news pieces are true?

Delivering informationWriting a news article is different from writing other articles or informational pieces, because news articles present information in a specific way. It's important to be able to convey all the important information in a limited word count and giving the best information to your targeted audience.

According to the principle of the Five Ws (and an H), a report can only be considered complete if it answers these questions starting with an interrogative wordWhat happened?

Who is involved?

When did it take place?

Where did it take place?

Why did that happen?Some authors add a sixth question, “how”, to the list, though "how" can also be covered by "what", "when", or "where“: How did it happen?
