Tips for journalists reporting court cases

 Just a few quick and fundamental points.

Comply with court rules and procedures. 

That's the start.

You can't record audio in the court room.

Therefore it's essential that you take notes.

You yourself know how you write notes.

Never avoid this.

When you take notes, you understand the context of arguments or the judgment and your journalism instinct will lead you to your story.

You will quickly produce and create that intro hook, deliver the punch in the body of your story and conclude it with a nice ending- there's a flow of cascading logic in the inverted pyramid approach to news writing.

Good luck.
