How Do Journalists Find and Verify Information? | Media Bytes, Episode 4

Journalists get a lot of information from sources. Sources can be a new study
with enlightening data or someone a reporter talks with often. Other times,
information is shared anonymously with few additional details to work with.
How do journalists verify information before sharing it?
Media Bytes is a new digital series from @ttupublicmedia that aims to
help people navigate the news, which has changed drastically in recent years.
This media literacy show is hosted by Sarah Self-Walbrick, a lifelong news nerd and local journalist. She’ll share tips on how to find quality reporting and give you a peek behind the curtain at the journalistic process.
