Staging Video and sliding audio

After reading through the sliding sound article from Poynter I found some really interesting takeaway reminders and ideas for editing video as well as other types of multimedia. KLAS definately was at fault for being careless and reckless with its handling of the shooting story. One of our main objectives as journalists is to give the most accurate depiction of a story to the viewer/customer and allow them to decide for themselves. "Journalism is essential to self-governing society. We can only fulfill our critical role of informing the public if the public believes what we put on the air," the article says. Being cautious and thorough in editing to weed out these mistakes is the best possible way to avoid sticky situations, and I thought the article did a good job of laying out the obligations journalists have to portray an honest story.
