Phnom Penh (FN), Dec. 7 – Journalists must keep up with the progress of the events in order to write a good News Update or News Developing, president of Fresh News Training Center (FTC) Mar Yarith said in a training session on 4 November 2021.

Spot News is the first step in writing news when a major event occurs, but as the event progresses, journalists have to write about the progress of the event and develop the existing articles. Adding more information on the story’s progress allows readers to easily and clearly understand the flow of the story, Yarith added.

In this regard, Yarith encouraged journalists to draft information or find background in advance in order to develop and publish the news article in a timely manner.

Mar Yarith is a local veteran journalist, who has been working in the field of journalism for over 30 years. He has worked for various well-known foreign news agencies such as UPI, AP and VOA. Yarith was also the founder and co-founder to several media outlets in Cambodia. Back then, he was the only Cambodian student majoring in journalism at the University of Michigan and the University of Maryland in the United States.
