Then he started telling the student a story of three guys and one young lady but in a different ways of narrations and every one of them have a different perspectives and then he asked the student to judge and write their judgment of the three guys and the young lady on a piece of paper and then he asked us to turn over the same paper to rewrite the story as if it’s a news story.

After the students wrote some of the stories, he gave them some tips on how to be a good journalist, also he was saying to them that “without those tips you won’t be able to be a good journalist”. Some of these tips were to be objective, no Interpretations, stop labeling, compose a proper headline and do not fabricate facts. And if you don’t have enough information about the thing you wrote don’t mention it in your article or news.
