I have also found out more on what news is:
News is what informs people about what is happening in the world. It can be news that people might want to hear about or need to know about. It also needs to be of interest to your audience and it needs to have a good combination of stories such as local, national and international news.
The problem with news is not what you need to put in but what you have to leave out. Sources are where the news come from and its usually a journalist's job to find them. An important factor about finding news is that it must be truthful and accurate. So you should be truthful so then the audience will trust your news and will then believe it. If you are not truthful then you will not gain an audience as they will not believe your news and they will not trust your sources. So you should always find and compare sources and if they are similar then they are most likely to be true.
Truth and accuracy are important news values of BBC so they must be followed and these two values will lead you to become a good reporter that people will trust.
There are many sources where you can find news from:
- Other Journalists: To find out more interesting news
- Press Releasers: They are organisations that send information about events coming up and previous events, you can also find information from their websites.
- Experts: By talking to people who know a lot about a particular subject.
- Witnesses: Someone who has seen or heard an event, could be friends and neighbours.
I have also learnt a few useful tips from Huw Edwards to finding news which were:
- To think about your audience
- Choose stories that they need to know about
- Give a variety of news (local, national, international)
- Stay alert for news
- Check sources to ensure it is truthful and accurate
