Attention bloggers, citizen journalists, reporters and anyone covering news. We're now live with an online liveblog to help teach balance in reporting. Sick of bias in news?
This edition of News Reporting 101 focused on fair and balanced journalism -- how to cover both sides of the story, why you should avoid biased reporting, finding sources and so on.
DigitalJournal.com editors were available to answer questions, while also citing stellar examples of balanced journalism.
The online class lasted for one hour. Now, the liveblog transcript is viewable to anyone who check out the first comment below.
