Whether you are reporting a story or simply reading, watching or sharing the news, it helps to know the difference between what is a fact and what is an opinion.
Facts tell us what happened. Opinions tell us how someone sees it. Both can appear in a news story, but as a reader, you should be able to tell them apart. And as a reporter, you have a responsibility to make that difference clear.
This is simple but an important part of being a responsible participant in the news.
Facts first. Truth always.

When YOCee’s student reporters get busy, the team at YOCee’s small office takes up the role of the reporters, does the rounds, writes copies and files reports. The team also posts useful info and ePapers produced in-house.
