About this course
Breaking news is where journalism is tested hardest: the facts are incomplete, the clock is running, and the audience is watching. This classroom trains you for that pressure. You will learn the workflow that carries a newsroom from the first alert to the first accurate report, the verification habits that keep errors off the air when time is shortest, and the live-shooting techniques that protect both the story and the reporter. You will also master the discipline of updates and corrections, the safety habits that keep crews alive on dangerous scenes, and the source skills that turn rushed interviews into lasting relationships.
