What would you text your friend? What happened + what’s interesting + why it matters = the headline. #mediafest25

If you are ever blocked from talking to a particular source, always note it in the story. Tell readers about your effort to reach the source and state that you were denied the opportunity. Show the reader you attempted to expand your reporting with more viewpoints. #mediafest25

Have reporters help write headlines for their stories, especially in smaller publications. It may not be the final headline but it’s a start and helps when there aren’t many editors to go around. Ask them to provide three or four headlines. They know the story best. #mediafest25

Journalism is getting to learn something new everyday and sharing that information. Knowing what’s important, what to take a stand on — that’s what you need to figure out as journalists, says @margarettalev. #MediaFest25
