How to cover bad news using good judgment
Arguably, the toughest part of any job in journalism is exercising the right judgment with respect to news coverage. So many decisions by so many players are required every single day, in determining how the news should be reported, packaged and shared, or even whether something should be reported at all. And that’s where judgment comes in.
In this video/audio series and compendium white paper, veteran news editor Jim Pumarlo will help reporters and editors navigate the balance between reporting bad news while also using good judgment.
