Presentation transcript:

In-depth reporting in-depth reporting – reporting that uses extensive research and interviews to provide a detailed account of a significant story. In-depth stories require extensive research, many interviews and dozens of sources.

Watergate – The term applied to the whole series of events that developed from the break-in at the Democratic Party headquarters at the Washington apartment complex.

news brief format – a condensation of a lengthy story into a sentence or two (usually used to summarize routine stories when space is needed.)

investigative reporting – a type of in-depth reporting that seeks to uncover and expose something hidden. In many cases, what is revealed is illegal activity or information that has been purposefully kept from public.

nut graph – a paragraph within the introduction to a story that foreshadows the rest of the story; a sort of internal lead.

Emphasizing in-depth reporting means BETTER REPORTING.

To stress the significance of an in-depth story to your readers, incorporate a LOCAL ANGLE!

When writing longer pieces, you need to stop thinking of leads and start thinking of INTRODUCTIONS.

In-depth stories need endings – they can’t just stop.

The essential elements of thorough, in-depth reporting: Research Organization Time Good writing

In-depth journalism both GRABS YOUR ATTENTION And STIMULATES YOUR THINKING

In-depth expands your deadline coverage to take A LONGER, MORE COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT TOPICS IN THE NEWS.

Five factors necessary for in-depth reporting: 1. SPACE 2. DEADLINE 3. RESEARCH 4. STAFF 5. PLANNING

Differences between a “research paper” and an in-depth journalism story: 1. TOPIC CHOICE IS BASED ON READERS’ INTERESTS, NOT YOUR OWN PERSONAL INTEREST. 2. RESEARCH FOCUSES FAR MORE ON INTERVIEW EXPERTISE THAN ON LIBRARY SOURCES.

3. WRITING STYLE IS JOURNALISTIC. 4. PRESENTATION IS MORE THAN WORDS ON A PAGE; GRAPHICS, SIDEBARS, ETC. ARE PART OF AN IN-DEPTH COVERAGE.

news peg -- news event from which stories grow that do not focus on the breaking news.

Three options for presenting an in-depth story: 1. Run it as one long story. 2. Divide the story into a series published over several editions of the paper. 3. Package the in-depth into a spread -- several stories on two or more pages of the same issue.

Types of in-depth stories: 1. Investigative story -- Reporting that reveals a problem of a legal or ethical nature that in the journalist’s judgment, the public needs to know about.

2. Trend story -- Story that reports on the details that support a perceived change in newsworthy social behavior.

3. Interpretive or analytical story -- Process of examining a news-related topic by breaking it into parts and looking at them closely; story that tries to explain the meaning of the news as well as report the event itself.
