What is a fixer?

a newsroom technician who handles the media outlet's infrastructure

a source in the courthouse


a source at the police station


a reputation for writing fair and accurate stories

B?

which of the following best describes the beat system at a media outlet?

It is a democracy where reporters get to vote on who gets which beat.

It is based on popularity and the nicest reporters get to choose where they go, particularly because reporting abroad is stressful and requires reporters with a diplomatic manner.

It is a hierarchy in which some beats are more prestigious than others, and those beats usually go to reporters who have worked the hardest or proven themselves in a particular area.

C

If a reporter gets a tip that may lead to a good story on a beat that belongs to a co-worker who is known to be very territorial about his beat, what should that reporter do?


not share the tip and try to write the story without the beat reporter finding out because the beat reporter will try to take it away

share the tip with the beat reporter, suggest they work together on the piece and emphasize that the source trusts the reporter who was given the tip

suggest they flip a coin to see who gets the story

I asked you not to go into journalism because we need hard-working journalists who carefully research their stories.

I'm sorry you don't know which one is correct.

a source in the courthouse

a source at the police station

a reputation for writing fair and accurate stories

"unknown" is right with their answers. I just took the test. (Thanks, unknown!) And y'all are aware that this is what pops up on Google, correct? Don't be a jerk because some kids want to double check their answers and can't get a straight answer.

I don´t like journalism because I ain't good at writing papers! Yet I thought this class would help me better than language arts but I am seriously questioning my thought process. I understand the pain of K12 journalism. I can find good things I just can't write them the way I need to or at all.
