The full story

The most valuable thing I’ve learned during orientation is to “put some space between the process of observation and action.” Those words were said by Keith Woods, dean of faculty at The Poynter Institute. As journalists, we don’t just scrape the surface. We have the responsibility to dig and then dig deeper. If we slow down and let questions guide our observations, we will end up with the full story.
