Say you are a reporter — Interview Corner · Free Press
You are interviewing Mr Ollo, the Mossville baker, about his 50-year-old oven. He is friendly and talks a lot, about the oven and about other things.
Your task
Make the right choice at each moment of the interview.
- 'On the record' means the person knows their words may be printed with their name. If something is shared as private, that agreement should be clear before you use it.
- Invented newsrooms and stories to learn from, not real news. Before sharing anything about real people, ask a trusted adult.
- Never share private details of anyone. Nothing about you is collected.
Score
- How news works — You understood how this part of journalism works.
- Truth & accuracy — You checked the facts before telling them.
- Fair & kind — You were fair to the people in the story.
In real life
Many newsrooms have written rules about telling people you are a journalist and about agreements like 'off the record'. Rules differ between countries and papers.
