• The process of journalism begins with gathering of
information.
• Reporting is a talent that some people have, it is a
skill that anyone can acquire.
• But takes a great deal of thought, preparation, and
practice. Reporters have to understand information
and where it comes from.
• They must be persuasive in dealing with sources of
information. They must also be honest and
forthright.
NEWS SOURCES

• Basic to all writing is having the information that you
will use in the writing process.
• Writing for the mass media requires that certain
information be gathered at the beginning of the writing
process.
• A story always answers six basic questions.
• Who, What, When, Where, Why and How. (The five Ws
and one H)
NEWS SOURCES
www.cuchd.in Campus: Gharuan, Mohali
• Acquiring information for a story is an essential part of
writing process.
• Information is not always self-evident or readily
available.
• Three fundamental sources of information.
• People, Records (any information written or stored so
others may find it) and personal observation.
NEWS SOURCES

STORED SOURCES:
• Stored sources are located in many places-
Government documents, company records,
magazines, and so on.
• A news reporter should be familiar with the
holdings of the local public library because that can
be a major source of stored information.
• Modern journalists have a huge library i.e. the
World Wide Web or internet.
NEWS SOURCES

Basic problems of the stored information.
• Management
• Authenticity/Reliability
NEWS SOURCES

PERSONAL SOURCES:
• Most information in most news stories come from personal
sources i.e. People.
• Reporter spends his non-writing time with talking to people
either face to face or over telephone.
• The more people he meets the variety of information he
gathers.
• Reporter keeps a regular contact with people from different
walks of life to have information and use them as sources.
• They develop a relationship of mutual understanding.
• Personal sources are attributed in the news stories as he
said, she said, as per the official sources etc.
NEWS SOURCES
www.cuchd.in Campus: Gharuan, Mohali
PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS:
• The third major source of information for the
news reporter is personal observation.
• Whenever required the reporter goes and
attends the event and writes about it.
NEWS SOURCES
www.cuchd.in Campus: Gharuan, Mohali
Examples of observation reporting:
• The anti-liquor rally drew people from different parts of the
country. Cars in the parking lot bore license tags from Kerala,
UP, Bihar, West Bengal, Rajasthan etc.
• The Calcutta-Chennai National highway has a deserted look.
No vehicles plying on the route. The scorching heat and
rising mercury is the sole reason.
