but the best, high quality news articles. You would want these people to
be informed and educated when they read your articles. If you can give
them what they're looking for, they'll surely buy the paper that you're
writing for on a daily basis.

1. Be very wise when choosing the stories that you're going to cover. There are a lot of things that can happen in one day but you should only be writing about those that are extremely interesting or those that have direct impact on the lives of your readers. What you can do is create a list of stories and ask your friends and your colleagues to help you choose the best ones. Sometimes, what may sound explosive to us may sound very plain to others.
2. Thorough research. Develop excellent research skills. You will going to need this to effectively gather all the data that you need for your articles. Go to great lengths to make sure that all the angles of your stories are going to be covered.

3. Verify your data. Feeding your readers with unverified information is the worst thing that you can do as a journalist as this can easily tarnish your reputation. So, make time to verify all the data that you've gathered and make sure that they are all based on facts.
