Therefore, it is vital that you keep adequate notes, and place your notes on the article's discussion page. Add the Original reporting template ({{<a href="/wiki/Template:Original" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:Original">original</a>}}) to the <i>Sources</i> section of your article. Include everything you can, including (for example) transcripts of interviews and e-mails. You can upload audio files to the <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/" class="extiw" title="commons:">Commons</a>. If you don't want to publish notes on Wikinews itself, whether for privacy or length reasons, feel free to e-mail the research to <a href="/wiki/Wikinews:A" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikinews:A">an administrator</a> or a <a href="/wiki/Wikinews:Reviewing#List_of_Wikinews_reviewers" title="Wikinews:Reviewing">reviewer</a>, who should note on the article's talk page that they have received the research notes. </p><p>When taking notes, you might try making your own shorthand. Specify what are verbatim quotes. </p><p>Ensure you clearly identify yourself on the article's talk page in order for others to know who can verify the evidence. Wikinews has a peer-review process for publication, and a reviewer must have well-defined evidence with which to verify the article. Evidence which is of unknown source is not evidence. </p><p>Please do not misrepresent facts or swamp the article with similar unsourced material if unsourced material you have submitted is not being cited. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Ethics" data-mw-thread-id="h-Ethics"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Ethics"></span>Ethics<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Ethics"></span></h2></div> <p>Journalists should follow a <a href="/wiki/Wikinews:Code_of_Ethics" title="Wikinews:Code of Ethics">Code of Ethics</a>, some aspects of which may be relevant to your conduct when in contact with third-party sources. </p><p>If you are planning to report about a demonstration, choose beforehand what side you are going to be on: you can join the protest, or be a neutral reporter. <b>If you go to a protest to participate in it, leave your Wikinews Press Card at home</b>! </p><p>Other behaviour is taken for granted in interview situations, which may not be documented in the ethics code, but which should be documented elsewhere. Some is documented below, but it is beyond the scope of this document to give detailed information about how to conduct an interview. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Talking_to_sources" data-mw-thread-id="h-Talking_to_sources"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Talking_to_sources"></span>Talking to sources<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Talking_to_sources"></span></h2></div> <p>A good article will have multiple sources quoted, but <i>every</i> article must have multiple sources contacted behind-the-scenes. It is not enough that the subject of the article told you that he or she is "the first Canadian to do a certain action", that he or she "operates the largest website of its genre" or "was fired from his or her job because of comments he or she made about the President". The onus is on <i>you</i> as the reporter, to make sure those facts are correct. </p><p>Our articles should not advance an agenda, they are here to <i>inform, not influence</i>. If Person A says that Person B was fired due to theft, go talk to Person B and get the other side of the story as well. <i>Do not</i> judge which side of the story "seems more believable" and then only tell that side — present both sides in a neutral light and let the reader make up their own mind. </p><p>Laws vary between nations, but it is typically <i>required</i> that you identify yourself as a reporter to the person with whom you are speaking. You don't need to make this an awkward formality, just work it into your introductions. </p> <blockquote><p>"Hi, I'm Jeff Davies, a local reporter who's covering the arrest outside your restaurant yesterday. I was wondering if I could ask you a couple questions?"</p></blockquote> <p>Again, you must inform the subject if you are going to make an audio recording of the interview. It is best to present it to them as a precaution <i>for their sake</i>. If they ask why you're recording, don't say "So that I have proof of what you said" — simply explain that "I'd like to have it as a reference when writing up the story tonight, because I would hate to accidentally misquote you on anything or leave out one of your salient points". If they're a public figure you can always use a search engine to determine the proper spelling of their name once you get home...but if it's not somebody likely to have already been in a number of news stories, <i>double-check</i> that you have all the names/spellings correct. </p><p>As a general legal principle, everything a source tells you <i>before</i> you've identified yourself is "off the record" and cannot be published unless you get them to repeat it for you later. Similarly, if a source tells you anything is "off the record", <i>do not print it</i>. On the other hand, people will often allow you to speak to them for "background material", where they do not wish to be identified in your article — but may still provide you with information nonetheless. Sometimes they will allow this information to be credited to "a police officer on the scene said that...", other times they will demand <i>no</i> reference in the article. Respect their wishes. </p><p>Often a source will give you a photograph of their imprisoned brother, their father during the war or some similar family 'photograph' to be used for your story. Ask them if they'd be willing to release the licensing to the image, so that other media outlets can use the photograph in the future if the subject returns in another news story — if you can do it without seeming awkward, direct them towards permissions@wikimedia.org to confirm the release of their image. </p><p>When you are unsure of anything, clarify it. </p><p>If you speak to someone who deals with the press often, you should be mindful of the fact that such people often become expert at manipulating the impressions of reporters. Your ability to see through manipulation techniques will improve with practice. If your source has more experience in interviews than you do, then it is important to consider what slant the person may want to give your final story, and to make sure that you, rather than the source, decide which details are relevant. </p><p>Interviews are best the closer they are to the source: for example, at their workplace instead of over the phone. Information from news releases, phone or e-mail interviews, etc., should be noted as such in the article. </p><p>You should normally prepare for interviews by learning some background information. For example, if you profile a mayor, you shouldn't ask him when he was elected. You should be able to learn that elsewhere beforehand. </p><p>As long as you have advised your source that you are a reporter, anything they say is presumptively "on the record" and can be quoted. However, sources may expect that only the formal "interview" part of your interaction is going to be used in your story, and may be surprised if you choose to use other material. </p><p><b>Since Wikinews has no, strict, formal approval process for authors, when contacting sources, you must represent yourself as an <i>independent</i> author/researcher, not as a 'representative' of Wikinews.</b> This remains the case if you are an accredited reporter: then, you must introduce yourself as an independent or freelance reporter. You may, of course, inform the source where you hope to publish, but please ensure they understand in this case that your own views and activities are not representative of anyone else who uses Wikinews, nor does the reputation of Wikinews, or lack of reputation of Wikinews, reflect on yourself. <b>Wikinews aims for high standards; meets those set by Google News for listing as a news source (as-per most mainstream sources) but is a volunteer best-effort in regard to reporters' fact-checking and independent editorial review and oversight.</b> </p><p>Be polite and act without bias. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Eyewitness_accounts" data-mw-thread-id="h-Eyewitness_accounts"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Eyewitness_accounts"></span>Eyewitness accounts<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Eyewitness_accounts"></span></h2></div> <p>When reporting as a witness of an event, explain briefly in the <i>Original reporting notes</i> section of the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Talk_page" class="extiw" title="meta:Help:Talk page">Talk page</a> (described above) who you are and why you were present, in relation to the event, in addition to the usual features of the story.
