Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3304077, member: 9853"] Here's how news reporting works. Note Badel is a news reporter, not an investigative journalist. They're few and far between and virtually non-existent in sport. (Newspapers are broke). 1. Someone tells you something. You don't care whether it's true, but it's juicy. 2. You ask them if you can quote them. 3. They say yes. 4. You print it and attribute to them. 1. Someone tells you something. You don't care whether it's true, but it's juicy. 2. You ask them if you can quote them. 3. They say no. Now you care whether it's true. 4. You ring around and see if anyone else can back it up. 5. If not, it's juicy and you think it's probably true, you credit a "source close to." 1. You piece together some shit and submit it to an editor. 2. The editor gets a sub to fact check it so it doesn't get the paper in trouble. 3. The editor goes through the piece, fixes the grammar, checks spelling, etc. 4. Good to go. [/QUOTE]
