Speeches and covering celebrities in news reporting?
Answers
1. Come Armed with Questions
As we said, press conferences move quickly, so you'll need to have your questions ready ahead of time. Arrive with some questions already prepared. And really listen to the answers.
2. Ask Your Best Questions
Once the speaker starts taking questions, it's often a free-for-all, with multiple reporters shouting out their queries. You may only get one or two of your questions into the mix, so pick your best ones and ask those. And be ready to ask tough follow-up questions.
3. Be Aggressive If Necessary
Any time you get a bunch of reporters in one room, all asking questions at the same time, it's bound to be a crazy scene. And reporters are by their nature competitive people.
The act of covering news about celebrities falls under entertainment journalism.
It focuses on entertainment business and everything related to it. It has different values and focus areas compared to news journalism.
Entertainment journalism relies heavily on candidness and sensationalism. From television to movies, and to the private lives of celebrities it does not maintain the borders of privacy in its quest to unearth news that the public is willing to consume.
