	Advocacy journalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Advocacy journalism is a genre of journalism which is strongly fact-based, but may seek to support a point-of-view in some public or private sector issue.
		In these situations, reports are labeled "Advocacy journalism" with the intent to dismiss the news report, attempting to relegate it to a dismissable report using an ad hominem argument.
		Investigative reports often focus on criminal or unethical activity, or aim to advance a generally accepted public interest, such as government accountability, alleviation of human suffering, etc. It might be argued that the journalist is assuming a point of view that public action is warranted to change the situation being described.

		News-oriented journalism often is described as the "first draft of history." Even though journalists often write news articles to a deadline, news media usually edit and proofread the results prior to publication.
		Journalism has as its main activity the reporting of events — stating who, what, when, where, why and how, and explaining the significance and effect of events or trends.
		Journalism exists in a number of media: newspapers, television, radio, magazines and, since the end of 20th century, the Internet.

	Attribution (journalism) - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In journalism attribution is the identification of the source of reported information.
		Journalists' ethical codes normally address the issue of attribution, which is sensitive because in the course of their work journalists may receive information from sources who wish to remain anonymous.
		For example, the Watergate scandal that lead to the downfall of U.S. President Richard Nixon was in part exposed by information revealed by an anonymous source ("Deep Throat") to investigative reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein.

	Friendly - Attribution of News
		Direct attribution is the best way of handling news and information about an event or conditions or situations of which we do not have direct, eyewitness knowledge ourselves.
		However, when sources will not allow attribution, or will not talk if there is attribution, we are driven, along with others, to move from the best way of presenting the news of which we are not the witness to second-best ways.
		In some cases, the source may insist that no attribution be given even to the agency or organization of the source, forbidding the reporter even to indulge in such vague attribution as "State Department sources," or "Internal Revenue Service officials," and the like.

	Articles - Journalism ethics and standards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Historically and currently these principles are most widely known to journalists as their professional "code of ethics" or the "canons of journalism." The basic codes and canons commonly appear in statements drafted by both professional journalism associations and individual print, broadcast, and online news organizations.
		The principles of good journalism are directed toward bringing the highest quality of news reporting to the public, thus fulfilling the mission of timely distribution of information in service of the public interest.
		Investigative journalism is largely an information-gathering exercise, looking for facts that are not easy to obtain by simple requests and searches, or are actively being concealed, suppressed or distorted.

		That attribution need not be made for simple, verifiable facts like dates, but is essential for information that goes beyond simple fact-quotations or descriptions not heard or seen by the current reporter, characterizations or other generalizations not based on the writer's own reporting, etc...
		Plagiarism is one of journalism's unforgivable sins-and, at this newspaper, a dismissible offense.
		But because the question of plagiarism is a complex issue, and absent a written policy on plagiarism, staff members should discuss issues of attribution with their supervisors on a case-by-case basis.

		A related problem occurs when the anonymous attribution "officials said" is used in support of an assertion.
		While one cannot create absolute attribution rules for journalists operating in a politically volatile world, the potential for abuse with unchecked anonymous sourcing is high, as Jayson Blair demonstrated.
		In the most basic sense, such attributions have become synonymous with "Surely, someone said it." Someone indeed may have said it, but that someone may have intended only to float a trial balloon or to attack another person without being identified.

		William Zinsser, author of the enormously influential On Writing Well, says the best place for attributions is at the first natural pause in the quotation.
		That contradicts much traditional practice, which often dictated placing the attribution at the beginning or end of a quotation.
		One reason the work of Cynthia Gorney, an ASNE Writing Awards winner and the former West Coast bureau chief for the Washington Post, produces such rhythmic writing is that she usually heeds Zinsser's advice.
