Eden Tivon Unit 7 and 8 prep

  Justify: If I asked you WHO did you interview or WHERE the info was from, what would you say... If I asked you WHY did you interview that person/ those people what would you say? If I asked you- was the interview worthwhile and useful and what information did you get from it? What would you say? Accuracy is a major factor to consider when writing and justifying an article. This can be difficult when working to a deadline as the information will be difficult to find and prove quickly. Many people today will use Google to find information but the information here isn't always accurate. This is so important to prove however due to the legal issues it could come with.

proofreading  – check spelling, grammar, sentence & paragraph structure sense and style – ensure mode of address and language code is in keeping with paper, as well as ensuring enough context is present. Trimming article if necessary – either for quantity or quality reasons. editing quotes & readers’ comments – shortening and formatting where necessary writing headlines  - active voice, awareness of tense, some of 5ws, snappy writing stand firsts – first few lines of an article, usually in bold, elaborates on headline You will need to consider: checking pictures and captions –  accuracy and suitability legal and regulatory compliance – IPSO, libel, media law meeting the brief The sub-editors role is to say this is interesting but where is the information from, who is your source? They will question the writer and pressure them to provide evidence as well as question how they obtained the information if it was done in an ethical way.
