A news outlet is the place people go to read about the latest events, developments and breaking stories. They are usually printed in the form of a newspaper or magazine or appear on a website. News articles should be factual, but they can also include opinions and commentary. They are usually written in a style that is easy to understand and follow, using AP (Associated Press) style and other recognized writing standards.
Reuters is one of the oldest news outlets out there. They started out in 1851 and built a reputation for being fast, accurate and neutral. You might not know it, but Reuters is behind a lot of the news you see every day. They publish a huge amount of content and feed data, photos, videos and updates to thousands of newsrooms, websites, broadcasters and trading platforms around the world.
Slate is a well known magazine that covers politics, culture and trends in an intelligent and clear way. They often have a lean towards the left but value clarity over outrage and debate over clickbait. They are also a leader in podcasting, with shows like Slow Burn and Code Switch gaining a large audience.
Always attribute your quotes to their source – put them in quotation marks and use the person’s full name for first names. Don’t change what someone said unless you have proof it was a direct quote and you can justify it by saying that leaving the error in would make them look bad.
