Summary

Background Research

Before composing questions to ask during an interview, it is often necessary to do some background research, either on the topic to be discussed or on the person you are about to interview. This may involve reading previously published articles on the topic or concerning the interviewee, looking up biographies of the interviewee or searching for information on the Internet. The following assignment will give students a chance to do a little “investigative reporting” or background research on a subject.

 

•Investigative Reporting

1. Choose an administrator, counsellor or teacher whom you do not presently have for a class and find out the following information without ever asking him or her a single question.

2. Write a mini-biography about the lecturer/teacher. After the mini-biography is completed, it will be presented to the teacher to check that the facts are correct.

 

Further Information on Gathering News

The four most commonly used methods in news gathering used by Navy journalists are observation, telephone conversations, research and interviews. And we had done with the interviews. The following are others methods.

 

•Observation

Observation consists of your actually seeing an event take place and then reporting what you have seen in the form of a news story. The difference between a good story and a poor one is often in the skill of the observer. Skilled observers use their eyes, ears, mind, notebooks and tape recorders. They make sure they get the concrete facts, spesifik figures and accurate information. They look for the colorful, the dramatic or the unusual in any situation. Skilled observers always try to get more information than they actually need. They know it is easier to discard excess material than to retrace their steps after the story is cold.

 

•Telephone conversations

The telephone plays an important role in your daily work as a journalist. It saves you time, legwork and it often enables you to reach people who are ordinarily too busy to see you in person. Telephone conversations may range from full-scale interviews to brief queries to verify or amplify information. But regardless of how often you use this method of news gathering, you should keep the following points in mind:

-l Know what information you want before you dial.

-l Speak politely indistinct, well-modulated tones.

-l Be cheerful and business-like.

-l Make sure you get your facts straight. Ask the other person to repeat figures or spell out names.

-l Avoid three-way conversations among yourself, the person on the telephone and somebody else in your office.

-l Recheck your information by reading it back to the person who has given it to you.

-l Record the conversation using a "telephone pick-up" (a device that attaches to the telephone receiver and plugs into the microphone jack of the cassette tape recorder).

 

•Research

Research is nothing more than digging out information from files and reference works. Research is used to verify or amplify facts in news stories and to give depth to feature stories and magazine articles.

Now, I realise that journalism effective teaching preparation and recognize students strength and make me as a student more confidence to use and learn English news story structure materials in class or public because this material make the student know about background research like how to reporting information about the news and when they make a news I will recognize my news. So, to know what i want to do when i increase my knowledge about english and in the future when I became to be a teacher or journalist i know how to give the student effective of learning about background research. for me the activites learning that make me know all about english is to know what i will learn like i summarize, memorize the course and distribution of english and check the grammar to know if my english is already good. hopefully this material can add knowledge and insight related to learning inovation for me to get better sense of the purpose of the material.
