Newsroom Capstone
📋 What it is
A newsroom combines reporting, editing, ethics and multimedia to publish accurate, fair, well-told stories.
🗣️ Coach says
The big picture: real news comes from a TEAM — reporters gather, editors check and cut, fact-checkers verify, designers visualise. Every role guards accuracy and fairness. That system is why you can trust good journalism.
🧠 Memory hook
A newsroom is a verification SYSTEM: gather · check · verify · present.
😂 Giggle
What do you call a story with no sources?
A tall tale with short credibility!
😲 Whoa!
A single major news story may pass through reporters, editors, fact-checkers and lawyers before it’s published.
✅ Quick check: Why does real news pass through several people before being published?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
Each role (reporter, editor, fact-checker) catches errors and bias, so the system produces more accurate, fair reporting than one person alone.
The newsroom system explains how trust is actually built.
