In Anna's blog post about the Yardsticks/ Elements of she brought up some very good points. She explains how before learning about these 'rules' of journalism that she watched news without looking at it for quality. I am guilty of this too and now I realize how important GOOD journalism is. I think that these rules will help me write in the future and are in general good for anyone spreading information to follow. I do have a criticism though, when she says "When reporting on a story, all sides should be included and given an equal say in the issue at hand." There are a large amount of stories where this does not apply. For example, if you are doing a story on a terrorist group caught by police, you do not need a quote from the terrorist group.
