Chapter Two

This chapter is more about finding a story and being able to research on the topic.  They talk about deciding what's newsworthy.  Not something that just happens, it has to be something significant.  Scott Pelley talks about his five-level filter, that is one of his tools that he uses to help him decide what actually is or isn't newsworthy.  Editors and Reporters consider six factors; proximity, impact, timeliness, conflict, prominence, buzz.  A good quote by Bob Woodward (Gotta love all the quotes!!!), " The central dilemma in journalism is that you don't know what you don't know."
