Hello Amaris, Augusta, Dave, Elizabeth, Jacob, Josh, Katrina, Lindsay and Melvin,
This is our final set of blog questions, and they come from Lindsay and Josh.
Lindsay writes: “When there are other media outlets at a story that you too are covering, how do you tactfully and tastefully tell the other reporters to get lost? I [...]

…or at least talk to one.
Hello Jacob, Katrina, Lindsay, Augusta, Dave, Amaris, Melvin, Josh and Elizabeth,
Our blog question this week comes from Augusta, the photojournalist among us. Unless you’re particularly skilled in camera work, you’ll likely have to talk to a photographer in your newsroom to answer the first part of her two-part question. [...]

Hello Friends and Scholars!
I hope you enjoyed your “break.”
We have two questions this week:
This one from Elizabeth: “At the moment, I’m working on several lengthy cover stories. The problem is that once I finish an interview for one story, I’ll have an interview for another right after, which has me a little jumbled. I’m [...]

Hello Scholars!
Our question this week comes from Melvin Felix, who would like to know:
“When you’re doing stories with a lot of data in it (where you have to go through databases and pull out a lot of numbers and compare them), do you have a useful method or program to help you do that ‘data-mining’? [...]

Hey Chipsters,
Katrina is our questioner this week — with sort of a double-header. She asks:
“How do you develop relationships with sources, especially as an intern or a new employee? I don’t have a business card of my own, so when I meet new people whom I’d like to stay in touch with, I [...]

Hello Friends,
Amaris Bailey is our question-poser this week. Amaris writes:
“Complacency is never a good thing, not in our social lives, our personal endeavors or even in our dreams for the future. Being bored at/with work can be especially detrimental. For us page designers/copy editors out there, complacency can lead to a lack of creativity, which [...]

Hey Scholars,
Enough with my questions. Now we turn the question-asking over to you.
Dave kicks off the convo with the following question:
“How can I develop my skills at taking notes? I rely heavily on my voice recorder, and I think that it slows me down when it comes to writing my stories. I take notes, but [...]

Hey Friends,
I believe three of us started this week — Josh, Elizabeth and Augusta? Congratulations and welcome to your new “homes” for the next several weeks. May you explore them like there’s no tomorrow!
Great questions, everyone! Well, almost everyone… :) For those who haven’t filed their question yet, please do so posthaste.
For this week, let’s each [...]
