When news breaks — Newsroom · Free Press
The phone rings at the Pinecove Post: the lights went out across half the town. Everyone in the newsroom wants to do something at once.
Your task
Put the breaking-news steps in a calm, careful order.
- In breaking news the first facts are often incomplete or wrong. Careful newsrooms publish only what is confirmed, say what they are still checking and update with times.
- 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 a breaking-news routine: confirm with an official or first-hand source, post a short verified alert, then update and correct openly as the story grows.
