Video Transcript

"This is Peggy Charlton from Expert Village focusing on how to write a story journalistically. I've already taught basically or shown you how to write the story and now the headlines are important. I would like to emphasize to you that it is very very important to write the correct facts. if you mis-quote a person or give the wrong facts and you are liable and you can have a suit against you. You don't want that because it is very costly. You don't have to work for a newspaper to turn in a story. You can just come in off the streets, turn in your story to a newspaper and they possibly would pay for it free lance wise. Free lance is not just working for anybody but yourself. Usually they pay you by the inch, so much an inch. Of course, you can't get big bucks that way. You are going to make more money if you are a correspondent or if you work for the newspaper. "
