Sources

Sources are either documents or people that you interview. Sources are very important for a news story because Sources help you get clarification to your story.

Sources come in a wide variety such as Eyewitnesses, Archives and Resources.

On Tuesday we had to do an Interview to find out whether or not Jimmy Manyi was a Racist or Not and I could not get aany sources because some people did not know who Jimmy Manyi was or about his racial comment on Coloureds in the Western Cape.

I found a better solution to this problem: Be friendly and make people at ease when approaching them.

From that day I learnt a different approach for getting sources for my news story.
