3. VERIFICATION
• the process of establishing the truth, accuracy, or
validity of NEWS
• It is very important for a journalist to after finding
facts and interpreting its importance to cross
check or verify facts.
• Unchecked facts have a power to cause
misunderstanding,damage,and could potentially
change the history of content. That is why it is
very essentual that we apply robust fact checking
to all our facts. This helps distinguish facts from
rumours and gossip
5. BALANCE AND FAIRNESS
• As a reporter you must learn to get the other point of view.
This may mean calling a person late at night to get his side
of the story or even holding back an investigative story for a
day. But you must do so. This is the best way to bring
balance in the copy.
• There may be times when an individual may avoid making a
statement. In such a case, state the point, indicating the
efforts you made to get his point of view.
• Fairness requires that you don’t impute motives.
Remember that your news report is going to be read by
hundreds of people, and you can influence their thinking by
using loaded words. It is always best to use neutral words.
6. Brevity comes from brevis, which means "brief" in Latin. You can use brevity
for things that are literally short, like the brevity of an elevator meeting, or
the quality of fleetingness, like the brevity of youth. Brevity is also a style of
speaking or writing with economy. "Brevity is the soul of wit," remarks
Polonius in Shakespeare's "Hamlet," suggesting that witty people know how
to make a point without unnecessary words.
Brevity does not mean writing a short story. It also means using short words,
short sentences and short paragraphs.
8. BYLINE
• The byline on a newspaper or magazine article gives the date, as
well as the name of the writer of the article. Bylines are
traditionally placed between the headline and the text of the
article, although some magazines (notably Reader's Digest) place
bylines at the bottom of the page, to leave more room for graphical
elements around the headline.
• The byline is a short phrase or paragraph that indicates the name of
the author of an article in books, magazines, newspapers,
newsletters, content Web sites, blogs, or other publications.
• The byline commonly appears between the headline and start of
the article, prefaced by the word "By" or "From" or other wording.
The byline could also appear at the end of the article, sometimes as
part of a mini-bio of the author.
10. • A line of copy acknowledging the source or origin
of a news dispatch, published article, or other
work.
• The maximum amount of credit to be extended
to a customer. Also called line of credit.
• a line of text acknowledging the source or origin
of published or exhibited material.
• the maximum amount of credit that a customer
is authorized to use.
12. • It is a brief piece of text included in news articles that describes where
and when the story occurred, or was written or filed,[1]though the date is
often omitted. In the case of articles reprinted from wire services, the
distributing organization is also included (though the originating one is
not). Datelines are traditionally placed on the first line of the text of the
article, before the first sentence. The location appears first, usually
starting with the city in which the reporter has written or dispatched the
report. City names are usually printed in uppercase, though this can vary
from one publication to another. The political division and/or nation the
city is in may follow, but they may be dropped if the city name is widely
recognizable due to its size or political importance (a national capital, for
instance). The date of the report comes after, followed by a
dash surrounded by spaces, and then the article.
• A phrase at the beginning of a newspaper or magazine article that gives
the date and place of its origin.
