Becoming a Reporter Tips and Questions
Reporting Questions • What plant of animal produced this ingredient? • Where was the ingredient produced? • Can it be produced in several areas? If so, which area is the highest producer or from which area do we receive the product? • How much of the ingredient is produced? • Is the ingredient a seed, root, stem, product or by-product? • What materials are needed to grow the ingredient? • What harvesting and processing techniques are used? • How important is the ingredient, economically, to the country that produces it?
Presentation tips • Know your topic. • Know your audience. • Stay brief and to the point. • Talk in a clear, strong voice. Do not yell, but do not whisper. • Maintain good eye contact. • Stand straight and still. • If you have visual aids (posters, pictures, etc.) be sure that they are clear, and that everyone in the room can see them and that they contain no misspelled words.
