By Joseph Momoh Conteh Reporters, who are constantly working and playing with news, developed a deep respect for sources.  They know that, whether their news is positive, negative, interesting or uninteresting, depends largely on the words they choose and the manner of reporting. News  reporters enjoy gathering news.  They become fascinated by the characteristics news possess. They known that, news may be noisy or quiet, beautiful or ugly, hard or soft, fresh or tired, calm or emotional, kind or cruel, formal or informal, general or specific.  News  reporters are aware of the interesting histories of news gathering, how it originated, its changing forms, and shifting in broadcasting/reporting.  That is why, as a young person interested in news gathering and reporting, can do better by cultivating the same strong interest experienced news reporters/presenter have. Oh yes! You can. Having said that, let me just hold it here for now, till then.
