A news sense is the basic quality of newspeople. Every reporter has to have a news sense or nose for news to distinguish news from non-news. This includes being able to triage various news values and decide where to begin his story and what is credible. It becomes very important for a reporter to develop qualities that not only allow him to cover an event and report it with precision and accuracy but also deliver it with confidence leaving a sound impact on the audience.
A reporter must have a thorough knowledge of the events, show professionalism while communicating effectively, should be observant and possess the ability to analyse things carefully. They should have a clarity of both thought and expression. They should be on an alert mode and should be able to think on their feet and adapt quickly to such changes without compromising the quality of their work.
Ultimately, a reporter’s skillset goes beyond good news sense, clarity, objectivity, alertness, and calmness. It also includes empathy to connect with subjects, adaptability to navigate changing circumstances efficiently, and resilience to thrive amidst the inherent challenges of journalism
