The document discusses the importance of verification in journalism to avoid mistakes. It emphasizes getting close to primary sources, being systematic and methodical in fact checking, corroborating information from multiple independent sources, and not assuming anything without verification. Verification includes ensuring all sides have been able to provide their perspective, attributing and documenting all facts, double checking quotes for accuracy and context, and confirming details like names, ages, addresses, and time references. Assuming nothing and cross checking information is key to reliable journalism.

Telling a good story is the heart and soul of journalism; however, you can't tell a good story without doing a good job of reporting—gathering information to share with your audience. Identifying important and interesting issues, events, and people to report about is a critical part of the reporting process. In addition, carefully editing the semifinished product to ensure that it fits the allotted time or space and to ensure accuracy, plus to check for proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style, is necessary to increase the chances that audience members will find the story interesting, informative, entertaining, and thought provoking.
Story Selection
Selecting interesting and/or important aspects of life to report about would seem to be a relatively easy thing to do, but declining readership, listenership, and viewer-ship for many of the traditional news media clearly contradicts that assumption. The key to identifying and developing compelling news stories is always to keep in mind what's likely to be relevant to audience members (Brooks, Kennedy, Moen, & Ranly, 2008, p. 4; Hansen & Paul, 2004, pp. 31–39). What people, places, things, and issues are audience members interested in, and what do they care about the most? Perhaps a time-honored prescription about what is good journalism sums it up best: “Make the important story interesting and the interesting story important.”
Years of practice and research in journalism have identified a number of factors that play a part in the process of achieving that critical goal. Among these are the “uses and gratifications” (see also Chapter 56, this volume) that people associate with news media messages; the news values/elements/qualities used by journalists to help them select which issues, events, and people to report about; and the traditional five Ws and the H—who, what, where, when, why, and how.
Uses and Gratifications
People have told researchers that they become news consumers for a variety of interesting reasons. They have a number of “uses” for the information they obtain, and they obtain a number of “gratifications” from consuming such information (Levy, 1978; Levy & Windahl, 1984; Vishwanath, 2008). By knowing about and understanding such uses and gratifications, reporters can begin to build a framework for their information-gathering mission. Among the major uses and gratifications are surveillance, reassurance, intellectual stimulation, emotional fulfillment, and diversion.
Surveillance deals with simply keeping up with what's happening in your town, city, state, region, country, and world. Reporters who can find interesting information about the important happenings of each day will be successful.
Reassurance deals with information that helps people feel better about themselves, the decisions they make, and their lives in general. Examples include providing the views of ex ...

Fake News: What's the Real Story - Randall Mikkelsen August 29, 2017
This is the slide deck for a library presentation I have been giving on fake news and how to be a wise news consumer in an era of misinformation.
No one likes us, we don't care? Trust in news and media
1) Trust in news is based on editorial practices, political principles, and collective identities. Trust is relational - it depends on connecting with audiences and demonstrating shared beliefs and values.
2) People are trying to address issues around trust in news through transparency projects, machine-readable signals of reliability, and building relational trust.
3) While professionalism is important for trustworthiness, trust ultimately depends on who news organizations serve and represent. News outlets must connect on principles and identities to be truly trusted.

Media Writing Continued
News sharing allows diverse groups to function as a community by providing shared current information. Reporters should avoid loaded language and words that express opinions when covering news, instead using neutral terms. Accuracy is important for credibility and readers, requiring verification of information and attribution of sources.

Social Media in Practice
65% of U.S. high school students use the internet several times a week for news and information, with 50% using mobile devices for this purpose. Social media is an effective way for newspapers to reach teen audiences where they spend their time online and on their phones. Using platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and emerging technologies teaches students digital media skills while helping publications raise awareness of their programs and showcase their work. It is important for newspapers to have a presence on social media in order to teach news literacy and online safety to the next generation.
