Reporting across platforms requires a different approach than working in a single medium. Not sure what you need for print, online or broadcast? Ask these questions to guide your reporting process.
- What aspects of the story could be told more effectively if you had more space?
- What aspects of the story could be told well without many visuals?
Broadcast
- What aspects of the story could be told more effectively with video?
- What sounds could be incorporated to help capture the story?
Online
- What links would be useful?
- What short video could help tell the story?
