They are taught how to interpret events as news, how to decide what is news, and how to report the news. Reporters are taught how to write and photo report effectively, how to find good stories, how to craft a headline, subheader and lead paragraph. They are taught the inverted news triangle.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Our reporters have never ceased to surprise me with fresh concepts, new angles and novel takes on old stories.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At the end of most editorial meetings, there is a mini-course: This could be a 15-minute brush up on Twitter, or it could be a few tips on Instagram.
