A scoop is a piece of news that a publication publishes before any other source. It could be a groundbreaking new report, jaw-dropping interview or insider information. A good scoop makes your story stand out and helps you attract more readers.
An article expressing the editorial team’s stance on a particular issue. Unlike straightforward news stories that aim to present facts objectively, editorials offer insight, analysis and a unique perspective.
Frequently used in broadcast journalism, a vox pop is a brief video interview with members of the public. These add an air of authenticity and give the audience a voice. Whether it’s about a recent disaster or an opinion on a controversial issue, these interviews are important for gaining reader insight and understanding the general public’s reaction to an event.
A running news story is updated in real time as fresh details emerge, usually during developing or ongoing events. For example, a war correspondent on the frontlines of a crisis will provide updates in real-time.
A freelance journalist who works on a per-assignment basis rather than being employed by one publication full-time. They provide a wide range of expertise and skills to a publication, including research, writing and editing. Some freelancers specialise in specific subjects or trends and have a dedicated following.
