Investigative Journalism Manual - Possible sources. “However much we try to refine our methods, there’s a hell of a lot of luck in this.” (Stephen Grey) Never forget that the usefulness of human sources depends not only on who they are, but also on your skill as a reporter in building a relationship of trust, asking good questions and recording answers with meticulous accuracy. Investigation is one type of reporting where – whether or not you can use it in court – you should record, and not simply note, your interactions with sources.

Your starting point – always – is listing the main role players in your story and planning how you will interview them. We’ll look in more detail at investigative interviewing in Chapter 5. Witnesses We have already seen that the most important, reliable and vivid sources are usually witnesses: the people who have experienced or are otherwise directly involved in a story. Current associates Previous associates Chains of enquiry Development researcher Joe Hanlon calls this “finding the woman who knows.” Experts. The Essentials of Reuters sourcing. Our reputation for accuracy and freedom from bias rests on the credibility of our sourcing. A Reuters journalist or camera is always the best source on a witnessed event. A named source is always preferable to an unnamed source. We should never deliberately mislead in our sourcing, quote a source saying one thing on the record and the opposite or something clearly contradictory on background, or cite sources in the plural when we have only one.

Anonymous sources are the weakest sources. All journalists should be familiar with the following essentials. Cultivating sources Sources must be cultivated by being professionally polite and assuring them they will receive fair treatment. The Reuters Code of Conduct applies when it comes to relationships with sources that involve gifts, travel, and opportunities that result from inside information. Dealing with sources Interviews During interviews, open-ended questions tend to start sources talking (who did what to whom and how and why?) Example: Understanding bias - American Press Institute. For a time, “bias” was the term of choice to describe anything people hated about journalism, whether the power and influence of corporate news organizations to the choices reporters made in writing individual stories. In 2001, in fact, a book about media unfairness entitled “Bias” was number one on the New York Times bestseller list.

In recent years the public seems to have adopted a more nuanced view of bias. Perhaps this is because many critics have found their voice online – where studies confirm that half the blogs contain just the author’s opinion – or that one-sidedness has become a successful business model, as Fox News Channel and MSNBC have demonstrated. Journalists, nevertheless, often feel compelled to try to prove that they are “unbiased.” But what if they took a different approach? What if the journalist said, in other words, that bias may not always be a bad thing? One can even argue that draining a story of all bias can drain it of its humanity, its lifeblood.

Innovation. The intrinsic structure of companies has long been a subject of study, most famously by Ronald Coase, the eminent British economist and recipient of the 1991 Nobel Prize in economics. In 1937, Coase published a seminal paper, The Nature of the Firm, in which he explained that, in principle, a firm should be able to find the cheapest, most productive goods and services by contracting them out in an efficient, open marketplace.

However, markets are not perfectly fluid. Transaction costs are incurred in obtaining goods and services outside the firm, such as searching for the right people, negotiating a contract, coordinating the work, managing intellectual property and so on. Firms thus came into being to make it easier to get work done. A well managed company tries to achieve a good balance between the work that gets done within and outside its boundaries. “The nature of competition - increasingly intense, global and unpredictable - requires strength across the board.

The Personal News Cycle: How Americans choose to get news. Published This research was conducted by the Media Insight Project — an initiative of the American Press Institute and the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research Introduction Contrary to the conventional wisdom about media consumption dividing along generational or political lines, a new survey finds that the nature of the news itself — the topic and speed of the story — largely determines where people go to learn about events and the path they take to get there.

The findings also suggest that some long-held beliefs about people relying on just a few primary sources for news are now obsolete. “There are five devices or technologies that majorities of Americans use to get news in a given week. The data also challenge another popular idea about the digital age, the notion that with limitless choices people follow only a few subjects in which they are interested and only from sources with which they agree — the idea of the so-called “filter bubble.” About the study.

Sign Up for Our free email newsletters Donald Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton will probably be considered the second-greatest upset in American presidential politics, after Harry Truman's come-from-behind victory in 1948.

It raises one big question: Why did Clinton lose? Trump is a literally unprecedented candidate in American history: He is the first American president to be elected with no military or political experience of any kind. During his campaign, he made multiple gaffes and insulted about every ethnic group in the country aside from white people. Twelve women came out to accuse him of sexual assault. On paper, Trump would seem to be the easiest opponent to beat imaginable, and yet, he won. Democrats have already started arguing bitterly about who is to blame for the loss. At this early stage, I see four major factors that may have led to Clinton's loss. Some of Clinton's struggles, to be fair, must be placed at the feet of the media's absolutely deranged treatment of her.

Cibercorresponsales. Red social de jóvenes periodistas. The Independent | News | UK and Worldwide News | Newspaper. How technology disrupted | Media. One Monday morning last September, Britain woke to a depraved news story. The prime minister, David Cameron, had committed an “obscene act with a dead pig’s head”, according to the Daily Mail. “A distinguished Oxford contemporary claims Cameron once took part in an outrageous initiation ceremony at a Piers Gaveston event, involving a dead pig,” the paper reported.

Piers Gaveston is the name of a riotous Oxford university dining society; the authors of the story claimed their source was an MP, who said he had seen photographic evidence: “His extraordinary suggestion is that the future PM inserted a private part of his anatomy into the animal.” The story, extracted from a new biography of Cameron, sparked an immediate furore. It was gross, it was a great opportunity to humiliate an elitist prime minister, and many felt it rang true for a former member of the notorious Bullingdon Club.

Then, after a full day of online merriment, something shocking happened. Does the truth matter any more?
