Be accurate in providing data that make the news, information or other journalistic genre is the distinction in the professional who respects the profession and the public. Dar know the right numbers, names, surname, place, time and other essential elements which portray an event is efficiency and quality.

The journalist in itself boasts a wide professional background is a thorough researcher, also has a nose for noticing if the source is lying or not, because she sees the nonverbal messages of testifying.

The news can begin to develop before the event and the professional press is a seeker born meteorologist who tracks such a climate event should lose no time in following the footprints. Sometimes the information is so close that almost pink body of the reporter and the worst happens: does not see or feel or hear because their attention was located well away. The act of presence is a basic condition of journalist aware of the details. Concentration is a treasure for optimal research.

Not enough to investigate, question, make a story and pass it under the lid all the precepts of what, who, how, where, when and why.

The journalist must be careful not to fall into inactivity created by the mental lethargy. Eye on fellow reporters refuse opportunities particular sources or elements of a gender x job because of a superficial and being carried away by emotions. Refusal to continue or not research should be based on facts.

Scrutinize reasons, reasons that led to the events is surveyed daily practice because they can actually intervene in a number of factors, several disparate elements and actors, all of which must be fathomed by the professional research and record all the details. It is time that the radio reporter to remove the San Benito that "just type". Writing for any journalist is like sculpting or designing for the artist to the architect.

In journalism schools taught the first thing after the lid is to conform to the truth because all reportorial investigation should visit, contact the largest possible number of sources available and all leading to better understanding of the facts. It is known that a journalist has no "outspoken" but the way they approach the questions that investigates the effectiveness and receives the answers you are looking for. If you have to ask the same question several times, is done. Insist, persist are qualities that lead to success.

It is possible that the day was presented to the source does not find all the elements, then we must return the next day or another until it reaches what is being sought because the reporter as well as his perseverance must possess a natural ability that allows quickly and easily acquire oral, written and visual instantly.
