News editing 101
Journalism involves gathering, writing, reporting, editing, and presenting news in print and electronic formats. A journalist collects and disseminates information about current events, people, trends, and issues for newspapers, magazines, radio, TV, and online. News is any information on current events relayed to a mass audience through print, broadcast, or word of mouth. Key elements of news include who, what, when, where, why, and how of an event. Editors determine what news stories and information the audience sees and must apply news judgment, writing skills, design skills, and management skills to select stories and ensure high quality reporting.
Newsroom structure
This document describes the various sections and roles within a newspaper organization. It notes that the newsroom is the most important section, as it is responsible for preparing the newspaper. The newsroom has two main sections: reporting, where reporters gather news, and subbing, where sub-editors layout the news. It also describes the roles of the news editor, shift supervisors, proofreaders, and press staff who print and distribute the finished newspaper.
The news production process
The document outlines the production process for gathering and reporting news stories. It discusses 5 key steps: 1) Planning the story by determining what to cover and who to interview. 2) Producing material like conducting interviews and drafting scripts. 3) Setting up logistically like booking interviews and ensuring equipment is ready. 4) Implementing quality control to check facts, ethics, and overall understanding. 5) Reviewing the production process to identify what worked, mistakes made, and how to improve for next time. The overall goal is to inform the public debate by producing accurate, impartial stories while also learning from each reporting experience.
News source
This document discusses the importance of sources in journalism and provides guidance on working with different types of sources. It notes that sources provide timely information to reporters and are essential to creating reports. However, reporters must be careful in protecting source identities and maintaining objectivity. The document cautions about types of unreliable sources like liars seeking publicity, hoaxsters spreading misinformation, and promoters pushing agendas. It advises reporters to verify information from multiple sources and be skeptical of leaks and online information. Finally, it outlines different types of sources reporters may use, including other reporters, primary witnesses, documents, and secondary sources like police, while being wary of anonymous tips.
Theories
The document discusses several media theories:
1) Hypodermic or Bullet Theory proposed direct, powerful effects of media on passive audiences.
2) Individual Difference Theory argued people react differently to media based on their unique qualities.
3) Personal Influence Theory found opinions are influenced through interpersonal networks led by opinion leaders.
4) Cultivation Theory proposed long-term exposure to media shapes common beliefs about the real world.
Agenda Setting Theory.
The document discusses agenda setting theory in communication. It was developed in 1972 by Dr. Max McCombs and Dr. Donald Shaw based on the 1968 US presidential election. The core assumption of agenda setting theory is that media influences public perception of what issues are important by how frequently and prominently they cover certain issues. While media may not reflect reality directly, it filters and shapes public perception of what issues are salient. The theory focuses on how media sets the agenda for what the public thinks about through selection, emphasis, and framing of issues.

Paragraphs, writing, and headlines follow additional stylistic conventions like brevity, third person, and consistency.
News Elements
The document outlines six key elements that determine newsworthiness: timeliness, proximity, prominence, oddity, consequence, and conflict. Stories are more newsworthy if they are most recent, close to readers, involve prominent people, are strange or unusual, have important consequences, or involve conflict between individuals. Human interest stories that elicit an emotional response from readers can also be newsworthy.
News Sources
The document discusses sources for news and source considerations for journalists. It identifies two types of news sources: primary definers like politicians and experts who frame issues, and secondary definers like the public who comment on issues.

Newsroom hierarchy
The document outlines the hierarchy and roles within a newspaper organization. It details two main streams - news gathering and news processing. The editor-in-chief oversees various department editors like the news, city, sports and business editors. Below these editors are reporters and sub-editors who gather and process news respectively. It also lists important qualities for reporters like being well-informed and persistent, and for sub-editors like having strong language skills and being able to work long hours. Finally, it identifies the newspaper's own team and wire services as the two main sources of information.
News Agencies
The news agencies, also known as wire services, are among the most powerful and trusted names in news business. Some of them like Reuters have been in existence since the nineteenth century.
However, few are aware of their reach or existence. They do not own physical properties such as newspapers or television channels. But they generate news for all forms of media. Their subscribers include newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television networks and now news sites.
Television news writing
The document provides guidelines for writing news stories, including starting with the climax, using a dramatic structure of climax, cause, and effect, and following conventions like attributing quotes, using the present tense, and rounding numbers. It also discusses formats for television news like package stories, live shots, voiceovers, and mini documentaries that incorporate video, sound bites and interviews. Proper news writing aims for correctness, clarity, a conversational tone, and allowing the listener to visualize the story.
Radio news announcing
Broadcast journalists must provide accurate, complete, and impactful news coverage across radio, television, and print. They are responsible for gathering information from the field and presenting it to listeners and viewers in a believable, energetic, and authoritative manner through well-structured newscasts, voice reports, interviews, and other formats. Effective broadcast announcing requires clear and vivid language use, proper pacing, inflection, pitch, and pronunciation to help audiences visualize stories through radio. Credibility is essential, so errors must be avoided. The goal is to communicate the news, not bring attention to oneself.
Normative/functionalist theories of press
Normative theories provide ideal views of how media should operate in terms of both structure and performance. The document discusses four main normative theories of the press: authoritarian, libertarian, social responsibility, and Soviet communist. The authoritarian theory views media as subordinate to state authority, while the libertarian theory advocates for media freedom from government control within a free market system. The social responsibility theory holds that media have obligations to society as well as rights of expression.

Additionally, it defines common TV news writing terms and offers tips for writing simply and concisely for broadcast in limited time.
Gatekeeping
This document discusses gatekeeping and its history. It begins by listing presenters and then defines gatekeeping as the control, management, and transfer of information and news items. It traces the origins of gatekeeping back to 1943 when psychologist Kurt Lewin identified rejections in reporting. Later, others like David Manning White and Warren Breed shifted the focus to institutional and organizational levels of gatekeeping. The document then discusses types of gatekeeping in newspapers and films and functions like limiting, expanding, and reinterpreting information. Finally, it briefly touches on disintermediation and contrasts the nature of gatekeeping versus gatewatching online.
Research Papers - Four Steps (continued) & Beginning to Use Sources
This document outlines the four step process for writing research papers. Step three involves synthesizing information by determining if the research topic is too broad or narrow, and revising the main question accordingly.

Chapter 11
Writing from Research: What Will I Learn?
11.1 The Purpose of Research Writing
L E A R N I N G O B JE C T I V E S
1. Identify reasons to research writing projects.
2. Outline the steps of the research writing process.
Why was the Great Wall of China built? What have scientists learned about the possibility of life on
Mars? What roles did women play in the American Revolution? How does the human brain create,
store, and retrieve memories? Who invented the game of football, and how has it changed over the
years?
You may know the answers to these questions off the top of your head. If you are like most people,
however, you find answers to tough questions like these by searching the Internet, visiting the
library, or asking others for information. To put it simply, you perform research.
Whether you are a scientist, an artist, a paralegal, or a parent, you probably perform research in your
everyday life. When your boss, your instructor, or a family member asks you a question that you do
not know the answer to, you locate relevant information, analyze your findings, and share your
results. Locating, analyzing, and sharing information are key steps in the research process, and in
this chapter, you will learn more about each step. By developing your research writing skills, you will
prepare yourself to answer any question no matter how challenging.
Reasons for Research
When you perform research, you are essentially trying to solve a mystery—you want to know how
something works or why something happened. In other words, you want to answer a question that you
(and other people) have about the world. This is one of the most basic reasons for performing research.
But the research process does not end when you have solved your mystery. Imagine what would happen if
a detective collected enough evidence to solve a criminal case, but she never shared her solution with the
authorities. Presenting what you have learned from research can be just as important as performing the
research. Research results can be presented in a variety of ways, but one of the most popular—and
effective—presentation forms is the research paper. A research paper presents an original thesis, or

Mark Hunter: Writing up your investigation
The document provides guidance on conducting story-based investigations through writing. It advises investigators to think of information as a story with a beginning, middle, and end. The document also recommends developing hypotheses that can be tested and verified through facts. It provides examples of decomposing statements and claims into elements that can each be independently verified. Finally, the document outlines techniques for organizing documents, developing a chronology, drafting an outline, and editing to produce a coherent narrative.
D16-EWRT 2
The document provides guidance on developing a strong research question for an academic paper. It advises that the question should not simply report what other researchers have said or be answered by a fact, but instead leave room for the student's own opinion and analysis after conducting research. A good research question may have multiple potential answers that reasonable people could find convincing. The document also offers tips for finding a research question, such as listing what is already known about the topic and generating a list of questions to explore through research. Peer reviewers are instructed to add their own questions and identify the most interesting one for each topic.
Research and discussion paper
- The document outlines an assignment for students to research a contentious question in groups. They will analyze arguments for and against the question, write a paper presenting each side and reaching a conclusion.
- The class will be divided into groups that will each research a different question. Individual roles within each group include the main writer for each section, an editor-in-chief, a data editor, and a summarizing editor.
- The paper will include an introduction providing context, separate sections outlining arguments for and against, and a conclusion comparing the evidence and stating which position is stronger. Guidelines are provided for writing each section.
Lesson 9.2 Activity: The Impact of Population Growth Essay

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
