Nowadays virtually all organisations dedicated to news production provide some sort of blog — or blogs.
It can be the heads of differing news departments explaining how they manage their “beat”, individual lead reporters commenting on stories they’ve written, more-traditional opinion/op-ed column-style content, or more general expositions on how news is produced.
The wikinewsie.org Editors´ blog is intended to offer most of the above types of content.
We will be covering the difficulties in reviewing and fact-checking, the most common mistakes new contributors make, how to persuade someone to give you an interview, getting experts’ input for a story, and the more technical aspects of preparing a story for Wikinews.
Obviously, we’ll also showcase some of the best content on Wikinews, particularly where that content has involved original research by our accredited reporters.
