The document discusses finding and developing news stories. It explains that news editors, assignment editors, or shift managers typically decide which stories to pursue based on deadlines, target audiences, and tips or leads. When finding a story, journalists should consider the deadline and who the target viewers are in order to make the story clear and relevant. Sources can include people, other media, documents, or unethical means like hacking. Journalists should build connections with sources by directly quoting them, asking questions, inviting them for off-the-record meetings, and protecting their identity.
