Introduction The public relies on the reporter's eyes and ears for an understanding of events and their meaning. Reporters station themselves at key surveillance points—called beats—in order to observe the important events that unfold.
Reporters have sufficient background to understand the events they cover, and they have a solid grasp of their beats so that they are able to ask the questions that elicit relevant information.
The journalist understands that he or she can never completely reflect the truth of the event but is not deterred from seeking to move as close to truth as possible.
