Multi-party evidence to restore the event

When you can't get the direct story,read coverage in multiple outlets which employ different reporters and interview different experts.Tuning in to various sources and noting the differences lets you put the pieces together for a more complete picture.It's also crucial to separate fact from opinion.Words like think, likely, or probably mean that the outlet is being careful or, worse, taking a guess.And watch out for reports that rely on anonymous sources.These could be people who have little connection to the story,or have an interest in influencing coverage,their anonymity making them unaccountable for the information they provide.
