You’re working with your friends on a team project and locked in the school canteen by accident. It’s getting dark. You keep hearing the voices of the cowbells from the lunchroom and all of a sudden your teammates fall to the ground! We all know this story. Trust us; everyone knows this story. It’s not our place to say it’s not our problem. We’re simply waiting for you to make your move. I’m not going to overreact to your actions in a class meeting and I’m not going to walk out of here and go talk to someone at the newspaper. Instead, I’m going to whisper the details of your situation to a fellow classmate. Don’t miss a beat and don’t draw too much attention to yourself. Trust me, I’ll get away with this. If this happens to you at 1 in the morning when you need to get the story out, you might want to try the less discussed method of anonymously snitching. Make sure you can trust your informant. If you don’t know their name or if you don’t have a good reason to give them the address of the alleged crime, don’t do it. Even if your informant is a close friend and you trust them completely, you still need to remember to pay close attention to the circumstances of the situation. The point of this exercise is for you to pay close attention to the situation, your reactions and the circumstances around you. That means you need to make sure you pay close attention to all of the people and the situation around you. By doing so, you will be more prepared to write a good story for the next morning. If you look back on your source, it will make the situation easier to understand. By identifying your source in the room with you, you can ask them to explain themselves. The source might have an explanation or even an explanation that is not based on one. There are a few things to remember when interviewing sources: We take our cues from the audience. If you see someone in a video clip turn around, a camera may be turned on you. Be careful with how you sit or stand while you interview your source. Try to be cognizant of the cameras or reporters. If you suspect your sources have been lied to or threatened, it may be time to consider taking your source out of the equation.

Once you have all of the information you need, take your sources through the reporter’s interview process. Ask them what they did, how they did it, and how you might go about pursuing the lead further.
