STEPS
{08} ON THE RECORD
Editorial Principles & Field Philosophy
“The story is never where you expect it. It is always one step further into the unknown.”
“Look beyond the headline, address difficult subjects and give readers enough evidence and context to form their own judgement.”
“Facts must be verifiable. Opinions must be recognisable as opinions.”
“Order in the chaos is not something you create. It is something you wait for.”
“Journalism is not only about repeating a headline. The most important work often begins after the headline.”
“The camera should confirm what you researched. Not replace it.”
