Who? What? When? Where? How?

These five questions are paramount when you are interviewing someone about an occurence that has happened, is happening, or is going to happen. You might ask these questions in your everyday life. You may have asked these questions at some point in the past. The ultimate goal is always to be able to construct the 'why?'.

Do you consciously utilize these questions to gather data to formulate a synopsis? Do you subconsciously ask these questions to yourself and others to gain a better understanding of your worldview? If you answered 'yes' to either of these questions, then this thread is for you!

Edit: Wait is it tenets or tenents?

It's the five tennis of journalism.

It's gotta have a good relay, a mutual back and forth, so to speak.

Now you've got it!

 

[Winter John]

So?

If tenets are important to you, then you can tell me...everything.

True journalism is when you set up a pincer movement to attack a story from the past and future at the same time.

...The ultimate goal is always to be able to construct the 'why?'.

Do you consciously utilize these questions to gather data to formulate a synopsis? ...

Though that is the behavior of most journalism I've been seeing throughout my life, no, those are not the tenets I learned while studying journalism. Your job is supposed to be focused on collecting information as accurately and cleanly as possible, and then reporting it. You don't "construct" any "why"s -- that's for the reader/listener to do -- not you! You don't formulate shit. You report it.

Your post offends me. Unless it's ignorance, then I understand.

Nah, thats outdated patriarchy balderdash.

Now its:
1. what gets me the most clicks
2. What serves the narrative of the group that gives me more exposure to get more clicks
3. What signals to the groups that will amplify my story so it gets more clicks
4. Hate clicks are still clicks
5. A story hammered out with totally incorrect details but that gets out before any one else can hammer out a story filled with incorrect details gets the most clicks, therefore that is ok

The fact that retractions aren't just accepted but commonplace now is disgusting.

Blast the headline, bury the correction. Boom, narrative is created and people will continue spouting your (possibly) intentional misinformation while never seeing the retraction/correction.

It's the five tinnitus of journalism.

 

[Laptop1991]

Or the new one, just make it up and loads of people will believe it anyway.

 

[MudoSkills]

Real journalism or videogame journalism?

 

[lachesis]

Well, these days - the headline seems to be showing of the writer's intent then more than anything by making it either eye-catching or just misleading to one political side... than revealing actual facts from multi-directional angles.

Perhaps I should just stop visiting Yahoo. My e-mail, from 1990s from Yahoo and still use it - so it's kinda hard to avoid those ridiculous headlines though.

I do you one even better when is Gamora

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

To lie.
To threat.
Perceive.
Authority.
Force.


Journalism in these times is in decline and has lost confidence, internationally, video games or any type of journalism.

Isn't this every question there is? I remember learning this in like Grade 1.
