2 . A first essential of good news writing is accuracy.     1    .

If a story is accurate, if it is written with a nice attention to detail, it is likely to be fair. If a story is not accurate, it is not news in the best sense. Accuracy implies more than mere grammatical correctness. It means more even than the stating of every fact with precision.     2    ; yet the whole may give a false impression. Accuracy means the spirit as well as the letter of the truth.

    3    . If one would write news, he must learn first to see news clearly and without prejudice. Therein the trained reporter excels the casual observer. The one has learned to observe keenly; the other, well equipped though he may be in the rules of rhetoric, has not schooled himself in the business of seeing things with an eye single to getting the facts in right proportion. Learn to observe and you will have gone far toward mastering the art of news getting and news writing. Casual observation is nearly always faulty.     4    . One man, telling his version of an automobile accident, swears the car was going fully thirty miles an hour, while another is certain the speed was only eight miles; one heard the driver sound a warning “honk”, while another is equally positive no warning was given.     5    . The difference in their accounts is due, not to any effort to deceive, but to the common failure to observe carefully.

A．Truthful, precise writing is the fruit of accurate observation

B．Each witness is a reputable citizen and each thinks his version is the truth

C．Take for example the conflicting statements of persons on the witness stand

D．Then, and then only, can he gather and write news with the maximum of efficiency

E．A story may be taken to pieces, fact by fact, and every sentence found to be correct

F．The word should be given top priority in the mind of every reporter and every editor

G．It is the business of the newspaper man, whose eyes must serve thousands of readers each day
