Journalism combines writing with news gathering and interpretation. While the journalists' work obviously varies from newspaper to newspaper and from magazine to magazine, all journalists are as much research workers, as they are writers. They cannot write their news or feature stories, unless they locate it and research them first. They must be able to read the in-between lines of the main-source news and interpret that. A great many stories hunt the journalist, who rejects most of them. He carefully sorts and sifts those, taking only a relatively very small proportion of news may be, coming from an unexpected source. A successful journalist may gather news to the tune of 100 per cent but he can use them for his profession only 3-5 per cent. He must be able to see or forecast to him, the news of tomorrow or the day after. from the news of today; because newspapers want advance news or advance warning to give a good, exclusive and exhaustive coverage to anything of interest. But a real 'scoop' is a very rare event. And bogus scoops also bring disrepute to the newspaper.
