Is competitive online news changing the way we report news for children?

摘要

Norwegian journalist Kristin Granbo joins Polis in October for a month to research the topic of how the way we report news for children is changing. For more information on this research project please contact Polis@lse.ac.uk or contact Kristin via @KGranboudud“Will you whip this story out on our website?”ududThe question came from my editor. Some news event had just occurred, and we saw the story plastered on every news site at home and abroad. I wasn’t sure if he’d heard his own words, but I was very surprised at the wording. We’d never “whipped” out any news story in our newsroom. A newsroom which should be home to well formulated, thoroughly explained stories that inform, but still dampen fear. We write news for children.
