When it comes to breaking news, there’s often a lot of competition to get the story first. That makes it even more important to get it right. One way to make sure you’re getting it right is to always confirm your sources’ reports with authorities. This helps ensure that you’re not stealing from other media or making assumptions about the facts of a situation. In the aftermath of a shooting, for instance, it’s easy to get caught up in panic and assume that a woman who has been shot is dead. But that’s not always true — and it’s the exact reason NPR got its story about Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords wrong.
So remember, don’t be afraid to do your own reporting, and always confirm your own assumptions with sources! You might just save yourself a lot of embarrassment. Keep these tips in mind when covering a breaking news event, and you’ll be able to report the truth with confidence.
