Deadline day — Newsroom · Free Press
The Daily Lantern goes to print at 6 pm and it is already 4. Photographer Ben is late with the pictures, and Reporter Ana is unsure of one number.
Your task
Pick the best way to handle each moment.
- A deadline is the time a story must be ready. Teams meet it by talking early and sharing the work.
- 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
Newsrooms use deadlines so readers get news on time, but good ones never skip checking to meet them.
