News Reporting And Writing

Looking for a news item reporting some kind of research finding. I need to compare the original source..?

reported by the news and compare it to what was actually found in the research. Im not asking for an answer, just having some trouble find the study and the news article to write my paper on. Any links of the two would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. PS..TEN POINTS FOR ANYONE WHO CAN FIND THIS..IVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE!

I wish I could help, but you didn't say just what you were looking for. I expect you have tried yahoo and google... have you tried other search engines? I have a lot of success with dogpile.com. Otherwise, I'd be glad to help look around if you'd let me know the subject matter. I can be messaged.

I just realized you could be referring to any research/news comparison. I still do not know what type of subject to choose or what class you are taking, so I am just not sure how to help. I hope you are able to find what you need on dogpile.com.

Investigative Report Writing Format

investigative report writing format"investigative report writing format"

Report Presentation-The Form of the Report

There are various different formats for laboratory reports in use. These vary according to the type of work being reported, the purpose of the work or the report and the recipients for which the report is intended. Reports of original research conducted to further scientific knowledge in a specific area require a different format from reports of quality control experiments conducted in a company laboratory and yet other formats may be required for student reports on experiments. A student may be expected to follow one format for recording experiments in a laboratory record book as they are being performed and a different format when writing up the information from the record book for a formal laboratory report later in the term. The format may also vary due to differences in the type of laboratory work which is done for the different subjects. Where the purpose of the experiment is to confirm or reject a hypothesis, the format of the report will differ from that of an investigation of the quality, composition or properties of a product. The purpose of most student laboratory reports is to indicate the students' understanding of aim, theory, laboratory procedures, etc., so would be emphasized in a format prescribed for these reports. Finally, if the report is to be submitted to a lecturer, the format may be substantially different from that of a report submitted for publication in a professional journal, while a different format might be expected in a report to a government, an agency or private company. An obvious way in which laboratory report formats differ is the division of the report into sections. Whereas all laboratory reports can be thought of as consisting of four main parts (introduction, procedure, results and conclusion), there is considerable variation in the headings under which the information in each section of the report is to be written. Some of these headings may have an equivalent meaning: apparatus = materials, procedure = methods, data = results. In other cases, more specific headings are added where there is a need to draw attention to specific information in the report.

 

 

1. Titleneeds to emphasise the nature of the work / investigation briefly (in less than 10 words) and accurately. This may also be called the Heading in a laboratory record book. State the date of performing the experiment.

 2. Aim or Objective.  This may be used in the place of the heading: Introduction. It is used to state clearly and concisely the purpose of the work.

 3. Theoryemphasises the need to identify the background theory leading up to the experiment or the theory which the experiment is designed to illustrate or prove. This may also include a brief literature review to provide the status of current knowledge in the field.

 4. Hypothesis- The hypothesis should be identified where the work is based on previous findings or involves the application of established theory to new situations. Note, however, that not all laboratory work is necessarily concerned with the testing of hypothesis.

 

5. Apparatus or Materials emphasises the need of the apparatus to be used and the way it is set up. It states the order of all steps to be taken.

 6. Procedure or Methods emphasises the need to provide a step-by-step account of how the work was done, a separate heading may be used. This could be important to assess later a quality of investigation. It may include reference to a specific ISO or internationally accepted laboratory standard procedure.

 7. Diagrams. A separate heading in the Proceduresection devoted to diagrams or photographs emphasises the importance of presenting this information in a clear, concise form rather than written form.

 8. Measurements or Results emphasises the importance of reporting specific readings or other observations as they were taken and to record results or outcomes with dates and signatures in order to provide evidence for possible future filing of a patent or intellectual property protection.  In this step you take measurements, produce tables and give a relevant sample calculation of how you obtained the final results.

 

9. Graphs emphasises the need to present an overall summary of the results in a visual form. Data would be presented in tables whereas Graphswould show the relationships between the data and possible trends in a clear, easily read form.

 10. Discussion or Results- It is one of the most important parts of the report as here you explain, analyse and interpret the results leading to conclusion. It shows the writer's understanding of the concepts behind the data.

 11. Conclusion - The purpose of the Conclusionis to discuss questions arising from the report and make suggestions for further work.

 12. References- Here you state the information that has been obtained from textbooks, reference books, articles, investigations, etc. and where these sources of information are mentioned in the text. These references are used as a source of information for background theory, previous findings on which this work is based, laboratory procedures, etc. The Referencesare listed numerically at the end of the report to enable a reader to consult these works for further details.

Tips For Writing a Compelling Local News Story

Launching a hyperlocal news site is one thing - writing compelling content that keeps your readers coming back is quite another. This article will give you some tips for understanding how to put together a great news story that will keep your readers informed and eager to read more.



One way to do this is to write "upside down." Many journalists write their content in what is called an inverted pyramid. The most important, meatiest content goes at the top. The reason for this is that editors typically cut from the bottom if a story is too long. If this happens, then the most important stuff stays in the story. (This tradition was originally started back when editors physically cut the bottom of a type-written page, but the principle still applies).



The next tip may sound a bit obvious, but it is critically important: be accurate. Double and triple-check information to be sure it is accurate. If quoting someone makes sure the quotes are correct and attributed to the right individual. Fortunately with the large volume of information available on the web, fact-checking is much easier than it used to be. Be sure to get familiar with some of the main sources of information in your community and check those sites frequently.



Finally, the pet peeve of any news connoisseur is clichs. You've all heard them: "cut to the chase," "shoot from the hip," or "sink or swim." They are those common phrases that people use because they think they are clever, but in reality they are way overused in both speech and writing. The more original and thoughtful your content, the better chance you have of gaining a positive readership and reputation at your site. This is not an easy habit to break, but with enough practice and patience it will be well worth accomplishing.



Once your articles are written and posted, there is yet another step - self-promotion. There is so much noise on the web today that it can be difficult to get heard. The key is to use many of the social networking tools available to do some self-promotion. Send out links to your content via Facebook and Twitter, and interact with visitors on your site. Respond to comments and pose questions to your followers about what kinds of events they may want to see covered or ask if they have any tips to share. Most people enjoy being used as sources and sharing a bit of expertise about something they know quite a bit about.



Finally, write well. Hemmingway level prose isn't necessary, but touching up on some basic grammar rules would be advised. Know the difference between your and you're or there, their, and they're. Get a friend or colleague to review your writing to make sure it sounds good. Make liberal use of dictionary.com and other online tools to help you through the writing process.



And be sure to enjoy the process of crafting local news stories. You are undertaking a service to your community to bring it news that otherwise wouldn't be reported.

News Writing And Reporting

How do you make a news report? (for students)?

OK, I have a project due. And I'm doing group work. If anyone has read Tangerine by Edward Bloor, I got an assignment to write a news report about how Antoine Thomas confessed his in-eligibility to play football. I need to pretend I'm on the news.

When writing news it is important to get to
FIRST hook the reader with a catchy headline
SECOND answer all the 'w' questions: who what where and why
THIRD organize your story so that it can be trimmed at almost any paragraph point and spik to the conclusions summary without losing the reader... This is an important because it is often necessary when getting all the stories into a newspaper neatly, and has determined the usual presentation of news, and the style we are all used to hearing when the news is reported.

I found this good list of things to be sure of while you write news on a high school journalism workshop site:
http://www.highschooljournalism.org/Teachers/Lesson_Plans/Detail.cfm?lessonplanid=167

have 1 page for an introduction: What is terrorism? Give examples. Who is saying what about it? [give two sides of the story-what do the terroists say, what do anti-terrorists say]. Why is it important to know about terrorism and counter-terrorism? Why is important for school students to learn about it. then something like: This paper will discuss how terrorism is right/wrong (choose). First, ...[terrorist groups?] will be discussed. Secondly, domestic terrorism will be presented. Next, counter-terrorism methods will be highlighted. Finally a conclusion will bring together the main points of the paper to show that knowledge of the negative effects of terrorism is important to ..[what?].

So now you have three topics for the Body of the essay, and if you write almost 1 and a half pages for each topic that will be 4 pages, and then write your conclusion.

Hope this helps, let me know how it goes.

Investigation Report Writing

investigation report writing"investigation report writing"

What Investigative Reporting Entails

The field of investigative reporting involves bringing to the fore facts and figure that affect human interests and fair governance. This means conducting in depth research, looking at public records, doing extensive interviews, as well as checking and rechecking of facts before publication. Whether print or television, investigative reporting is essentially "watchdog" reporting. This means reporting crimes, unfair practices, injustice, as well as other human interest aspects like environment, disease, and so on.

Investigative journalism can move public opinion and instill fear in those treading the wrong path. Slave trade, gun running, terrorist activities, drug trafficking, money laundering and so on are brought to the notice of the world by investigative journalism.

An investigative journalist must be unafraid, determined, patient, watchful, fair, as well as dog minded to be successful. The questions a journalist seeks answers to are: who is responsible for the wrong doing; what methods were employed; what are the consequences; what can be done to correct the wrong; can the wrongdoers be brought to book?

The keys are to dig up the first lead, tip, or hunch. Then sniff around for facts. Form an investigative hypothesis. Next, like a detective, gather evidence that will prove undeniably the hypothesis. This will involve interviews, documents, records, proofs, and intense paper work. Organize the information and write the report. Check facts, check chances of libel, and the laws. To be good at your work it is advantageous if you are familiar with the law, know the procedures, can conduct quick and accurate research, follow the money trail, and dig out facts.

Investigative journalism is a specialized field that uses journalism skills, curiosity, advanced research methods, and a determination to right wrongs. This field of journalism is what helps shape democracy and protects the lives of the innocent. Done correctly it can raise public opinion to such an extent that the way the world thinks and functions can be changed.

An investigative journalist must work within the confines of ethics written and unwritten and the laws. The work could include revealing scandals and tracing infringements of laws, rules, or morals. Bring to public notice the policies of governments, companies, and other organizations. And, institute social change by describing social, economic, political, and cultural trends.

To be effective in investigative journalism the journalist must have high standards of functioning and be above corruption. The principles of truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fair play, and public accountability must be deeply ingrained in the mind and soul of the journalist. Since investigative journalism involves use of undercover sources and anonymous tips it is absolutely essential for the journalist to double check facts.

Investigative journalism is news with a difference. It is critical and in depth investigations to a happening or policy which will serve to prevent or correct a wrong, prevent crimes, save the planet from destruction, and shape the future of the world in more ways than one. It is reporting the unknown, the hidden, and so, the investigative journalist becomes the keeper or custodian of public conscience.

It is a field where a mere niggling thought or suspicion becomes an expose of wrong doings. It questions actions and decisions and brings to the limelight outrageous acts and in human actions. In simple terms an investigative journalist polices society in the larger interests of mankind.

What are the differences between news reported on TV and newspapers?

HOMEWORK HELP NEEDED!
Compare and contrast the news writing styles, extent of coverage of the news and importance given to the particular news stories, also giving examples from the new media, explaining how the news has been covered, pointing out the difference in style and listing your recommendations for improvement.

Thanks in advance!

"Print" news typically has more information in more detail while TV news has only a minute or two for each topic in a typical show. Also newspapers will do more follow up as a subject evolves over time, such as the court process while an alleged murderer is going through a trial, while TV news would focus more on the initial crime and then the final jury sentence without too much focus on the day-to-day process. Also newspapers tend to have strict rules for identifying subjects who provide quotes while TV reporters will just show someone talking and identify them only as a "neighbor" or "witness" or what have you. Overall, newspapers are a little more formal and use a standardized language called "AP Style" (Associated Press Style) while TV news reports are less formal. Newspapers will cover routine municipal matters like school board and alderman's meetings while TV news doesn't usually cover these meetings unless something unusual or controversial is taking place. Finally, TV has the ability to "break into your regularly scheduled programming" in the event of something like the 9-11 attacks while a newspaper reader would have to wait until the next morning's issue is published to read about the news.

examples of muckraking in the modern time?

What are some examples of problems in the US that i could write muckraking reports about. I need specific examples of problems, and maybe even tips on what to write for each subject. Also, this has to be recent, like, 5 years recent, so nothing from the Progressive Era.

An example of this would be Tiger Woods scandal, although all he did was an affair, newspapers stretched the truth to make it look as though he was a criminal.
