Angle before draft
Questions before quotes
Checks before polish
About ReportSkill
A practical introduction to reporting habits: source research, interview notes, fact-checks, leads, and cleaner article drafts.
How The Course Works
ReportSkill treats journalism as a sequence of small decisions, not a rush to fill a blank page. Learners practice narrowing a broad topic into a story angle, preparing useful interview questions, marking field notes by type, checking names and dates, and shaping the material into a short report with a clear lead, attribution, and context.
Practice First, Then Draft
The course approach is built around short reporting tasks: compare possible angles, revise yes-or-no questions, separate quotes from assumptions, and use a source log before writing.
Progress comes from noticing small errors early, such as a vague lead, an unsupported claim, a missing attribution, or a headline that promises more than the article proves.
