Newspaper reporting is really storytelling. We call our articles 'stories,' and we try to tell them in a way that even people who don't know all the background can understand them.

When we are reporting the news, we make every effort to report it in as factual way as possible.

The news used to be to report facts and allow you to make the decision.

The challenge remains a simple one: to write news that stays news.

A big part of reporting is just being present. You have to show up ten days in a row to get the one telling detail.

A basic rule of life for reporters is that you should spend your time talking with and learning about people who are not sending you press releases, rather than those who are.

Reporting provides reminders that things are always more complicated than you think.

You can't expect that because you find a story and report it out that your newspaper and broadcasting company is going to want to publish and broadcast it - and you're going to be a hero.

What we call 'the news' always has tried to tell a story, and it's always told the story it wanted or, put most positively, whatever story it believed needed telling.

I think all good reporting is the same thing - the best attainable version of the truth.
