Comment on The media conference story by Amy B

It starts with so much excitement than is really warranted and so many descriptive words. I was surprised the writer sounds like an eye witness themselves which seems incorrect.
It’s a bit repetitive too – they’ve mentioned the rock and bottle throwing about four times when it was my understanding that it happened twice and only allegedly. Maybe it’s out of context as we had a mock media conf, but it thought this was a strange take on the article!

Was I hallucinating when I thought I heard you say that we could make changes to our writing pieces according to your comments?

If you could please clarify that would be wonderful!
Thank you

hey guys, it is very interesting and perhaps fortunate for us in this class that this week on Radio national's 'Big Idea' program they broadcast a speech on the topic of investigative journalism. from the Big Ideas website

What does it take to be a good investigative journalist? Today, former ABC journalist and arguably one of Australia's best investigative reporters, Chris Masters, delivers the 11th Annual Manning Clark Lecture from the National Library in Canberra. Good research is at the heart of every good story, he says. There is nothing like a fact!

you can find the lecture in audio form here
