BE AWARE OF THE SINNERS
1. Be aware of stories that show and refer to only one point.
2. Be aware of hype - language that exaggerates the storyline: “explosive,” “amazing,” “exclusive,” “you won’t believe this.”
3. Be aware of entertainment techniques that can manipulate your emotions -music, slow motion, quick editing.
4. Be aware of video that is gratuitous; overused; titillating
5. Be aware of stories with only one or no eyewitness; no sourcing; lack of independent reporting.
LOOK FOR THE WINNERS
1. Look for differing viewpoints of a controversial story.
2. Look for first-hand accounts; good sourcing; credible eyewitnesses; independently verified information (“CBS News has learned….”).
3. Look for comprehensive news stories. Did you learn “who, what,
where, why, when?”
4. Look for compelling video that illustrates the story, without overtaking it.
