16. Reporting for different media
• TV news reporting requires the same core values of
accuracy and impartiality as other types of journalism –
but the unique demands involved in providing video
illustration mean broadcast producers and reporters must
also develop creative approaches to telling each story.
• Radio uses voices and sounds as newspapers use pictures -
to illustrate or emphasize a story. News can be more
interesting and more effective when the listeners hear the
event taking place or hear the voices of those making it
"happen.“
• Newspaper reporting is little different as it has no relation
with sound and moving visuals. It contain still pictures and
text. But same measurements and parameters are
followed in this type of reporting also.
