Common Sense Journalism

An extension of the Common Sense Journalism monthly column by Doug Fisher, former broadcaster, newspaper reporter and wire service editor. From new media to old, much of journalism is just plain common sense.

"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." - Unknown (often improperly attributed to Thomas Jefferson)

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair

"Common sense is not so common" - Voltaire "Common sense is instinct; enough of it is genius" - George Bernard Shaw

Teaching Video: Nice graphic from Poynter

If you are teaching video, especially to your reporting students, this graphic from Poynter will come in handy.

Also, I'd recommend one of my longtime favorite sites, Video 101. It breaks it down nicely with video illustrations.

For instance, how many of us have struggled through student projects loaded with jump cuts. Video 101 has a module on that.
