Professional journalists gather information by interviewing sources, reviewing documents, and fact-checking claims. They strive to be unbiased, fair, and fact-driven, and they use current events and news judgment to decide which stories to cover. Briefs and summaries are short and straightforward, while analysis pieces provide more context. Be sure to get your news from a variety of sources.
