Going with the Flow response to "Staged, Staging, Stages," by Dave Wertheimer

As Journalist, we should be an observer, and report only what we have seen. Our presents at the events should not affect how things are supposed to be happened. Wertheimer mentioned that some reporter asked people to stage what they thought NFL drafting story should look like. Maybe these reporters are under deadline pressures, maybe they are holding their “gate keeping pride” to deliver “what the TV reviews” should see, or maybe they are lazy changing their angle of the story.
I am against staging as well. As Lynda has mentioned in her “Story Commitment” articles, “A great reporter takes every available moment before arriving at a story scene to research the story and brainstorm possible ways to "frame" the story.”, in other words, we should frame the our cover story, so that we have our ideas on what to cover. But lives changes, things changes, so we should also have different plans to reach our goals. In Journalism, that is having different views of a story idea, so if one does go well, we can use our resources to sell the story in other way.
It’s always easier to say then done, but having the abilities to display a story in different way, and still making the story relevant, this requires a lot time to research. It is the battle between time and quality. For example, I was going to study how to use Avid during the weekend, because I knew I won’t have much time to edit the clips today. But Eres went down, and my avid experience won’t so successful, so I can only go to school early tomorrow to ask for help.
Life change, everything changes, as a reporter, we can only go with the flow, and work on our, and tell the true (Not making the true) the best we can.
