And good reporters never do.<br />They go out and do interviews and look stuff up and write their own stories. Sometimes, another reporter beat them to a story -- though, thankfully, that's rare in Bristol - but it doesn't change the reality that we still need to go write out own, not steal theirs.Steve Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316108296993240817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-17281558361654550452009-07-22T22:34:48.034-04:002009-07-22T22:34:48.034-04:00How is that any different from writing a report or...How is that any different from writing a report or reporting on an issue? All you are doing is reading up on a topic and reporting the news, or rewriting someone else's research while giving credit for information.
