• Accuracy is tied with credibility.

• Every detail must be correct.

• 24-hour news cycle puts stress on accuracy.

Page 8: Blog Setup Help and  Dashboard Tutorial

Fairness

A story cannot be accurate without being fairAll sides of the story must be presented in a storySeek out diverse opinions from like-groups as

well. Example: Some Muslims might not want a mosque built by

Ground Zero.

Example of Unfair Story: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/08/29/president-

says-hes-worried-muslim-rumors/ Note headline and url name See the actual survey report at http://people-press.org/

Objectivity

• Journalists must arrive at the best obtainable version of the truth

• All journalists do have their own biases (beliefs, spirituality, political views, etc), but these biases should not be evident in his or her writing

• Draw boundaries if necessary • If you’re a strict vegetarian and think people

who eat meat are destroying the planet, then remove yourself from a story about the beef industry.

Clarity

Research and knowledge of the topic are essential. If you don’t get it, you won’t write it well, and you’re

audience won’t get it either.

Stories should: Be simple and understandable Explain complex issues or processes with ease Be complete so that readers should not be left with

any questions Be specific and not assume readers have read all of

the previous stories about the subject/event

Page 11: Blog Setup Help and  Dashboard Tutorial

As a Journalist …

• Your basic obligation is to the reader. The next obligation is to the company you’re representing.

• Don’t allow your story to be released until you understand everything

• Never assume anything

Plan your stories, interviews, etc., but be prepared to make major changes.

Make every word you write count – space is limited.

the requested information.The URL looks like http://www.klandreville.com

largest file size. File size affects bandwidth usage. Text = ASCII Graphics = GIF, BMP, TIFF, EPS, JPEG, PNG PDFs preserve original formatting that may include

both text and graphics Sound = WAV and AIFF are larger than MP3 Video = MPEG, QuickTime, Flash Video, and AVI Rich Content = Java, Flash, AJAX, XML

participant (i.e., the audience)
