Daily Life of a Reporter

In the first part of this series, Ahmari describes a typical day in the life of a reporter in order to emphasize the importance of fact-based journalism. He begins with how a story emerges and then provides step-by-step instructions for finding and interviewing sources in an ethical way. Touching on the many facets of this process, the lesson explains how to identify a reliable source, distinguish between different types of sources, how to properly quote a source, and how to protect the identity of sources. The lesson concludes with a look at the publication process.
