I'm No Super Robot!

"Business, community and civic leaders say they and their organizations often are covered by reporters who simply do not know enough about the subjects they are trying to report on."

Of course we all can't hold all informaition on every subject, and maybe sometimes we don't feel like learning molecular biology over night to write a story on it. There are other ways to write about things you don't know much about. I write about topics that I'm not completly 100% sure on sometimes, but mostly i liek to stay clear of that. If I have ot write something, I usually do the research before hand so I don't make any mistakes.

But, "when reporters and their editors have a limited grasp of the topic, the story they produce is likely to be unfair."

These and other fair topics are found in our Best Practices assignment.
