The three most important rules: Accuracy, Privacy and Plagarism & Fabrication
Accuracy- all of the information a journalist gives has to be correct. If it is just one minor error present, the work is worthless. Everything has to be done, written and said correctly. I feel that if something is not accurate, its value goes down along with the value of the journalist for reporting incorrect work.
Privacy-their are many laws present that can get to a journalist if privacy rights are violated. A journalist has to know their limits and follow them. Many break the law and are sued because of privacy rights. Privacy is very important.
Plagarism and Fabrication-you have to do your own work. Why go into the field of journalism if you are just going to copy off of someone else, it is not right. You can not add on extra information or anything to a story that is not true, nor can you make up a story just to receive the glory or meet a deadline.
Their are consequences for all three of these rules if they are broken. I find these to be very important for journalist to follow.

To take a better photo you have to keep some things in mind while shooting the picture. Depending on the type of camera you have, you have to hold the camera a certain way. If the camera is more thick, you should hold the bottom to keep it still, so it will not move while taking a picture. If you have a smaller camera, then you should hold it with both hands, but without your fingers in the way of the lens.
When taking a picture you should get in steady yet different positions. Shooting not only from eye level, but lower and higher levels makes for a better picture. Taking many photos of the same image is always best, you have a variety to choose from of which you like best. The image that is in the frame is important, you have to study that and fill the frame for a great photo. While filling the frame, you should look for different angles to shoot the photo. The rule of thirds is important when taking pictures. Always keep your eyes out for unique shots, take a photo that may be surprising to your eye.
