"If you are going to write about the truth you must have a deep desire to know the truth. If you settle for anything less, your readers will sense in your writing that you have settled!" - Read... A NEW TALE by Stu Leventhal
Reporting News verses Opinion Writing!
By Stu Leventhal
News reporters need to stick to the facts. Leave stuff out when telling the story and you will lose your credibility. Your fans will abandon you.
Opinion writers are different from news reporters. Opinion writers are paid for their analysis of the tale. Their readers want to hear what their favorite writer thinks of the breaking news of the day.
Why is this story important?
Reporters simply tell the story they are not supposed to interpret the facts. Reporters should look for a few experts to get quotes from when they feel the facts need further explaining.
A reporter is our eyes and ears at the scene.
Opinion writers put the story in perspective for us readers.
