Document Summary
The writer shouldn"t be there or noticeable. People who are most directly close to the action and knowledgeable about the thing or event. Should not casually refer to their own participation in the events they describe. Do not appear as characters" in the story. Ex. when i climbed the stairs to john smith"s apartment, i heard a strange, rhythmic thumping. He smiled at me and told me to come in. Questions are bad headlines - almost always terrible. Reduce the risk of incorrectly reporting source"s opinions, emotions, etc. Our jour 200 instructor is a bit odd, said sally smith, a sophomore double-majoring in psych and journalism. Said can go before or after the source"s name, preferably after. If the source has a long job title or you need to include other identifying info, you might need to put it first. If you say a source claimed" something, that introduces doubt.
