If you are a reliable, honest journalist, sources will open up and trust you and share good information.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If information is true, if it can be verified, and if it's really important, the newspaper needs to be willing to take the risk associated with using unidentified sources.
I try very hard to maintain the confidence of my sources by speaking candidly with them, honoring agreements about the use of our conversation, and practicing journalism in an honest and straightforward way.
Sometimes, in a fictional story, you can be more honest and truthful, actually. As a journalist, you're a prisoner of the data, in effect. You have to tell the story with evidence you can verify.
I don't trust a lot of journalists.
As a journalist, the details always tell the story.
Any journalist worth his or her salt wouldn't trust me.
If you're a good journalist, what you do is live a lot of things vicariously, and report them for other people who want to live vicariously.
In most daily journalism, you only fact-check something if it seems a little fishy.
You will always have partial points of view, and you'll always have the story behind the story that hasn't come out yet. And any form of journalism you're involved with is going to be up against a biased viewpoint and partial knowledge.
There's no question that sources sometimes have interests aside from the truth when they talk to reporters. That's why reporters have to very aggressively report against their own theses and against their initial information.
