A
person selects where he or she receives his or her daily dose of news depending
on how well a story was developed and delivered.
Panelist,
WSB-TV 2 Atlanta Producer, Marcus Foster and Channel 11 Alive Anchor, DeMarco
Morgan discussed the key points that prepared future journalists and reporters
on how to create a good research story.
Each
field of mass media requires extraordinary writing skills. Foster described how
in television, writing a broadcast story begins with a catchy lead likewise for
print journalism because the audience gets less time to get as much information
about a story in the from a live reporter.
“While
reporting an investigation story it is important to listen, which is also a key
element of the story,” Jacque Reid said.
Reid gave essential tips on how to create worthy research story. She
mentioned how it is the reporter duty to do his or her or homework by
researching information on the story that is pitched.
“There
are many reporters in the industry and various reporting styles but ultimately
in order to be the best depends on how well the story was told. As a journalist he or she has to be
comfortable with not relying on written questions but listening in order to
have a conversation as opposed to an interview. And treat people like you know
them, that’s what makes Oprah Winfrey and Diane Sawyer great,” Morgan
said.
Students
in the Reid Project course are well equipped for their final research project
from the panelist expert advice. Some students prepared with topics and others
still researching.
Morgan
believed, “The best story is the unexpected story.”
