25、cast on television. It is brief, live and most of all presented by 41 journalists who have become true 42 . Behind all this glamour and publicity, though, journalists have a very difficult and demanding job. Most journalists begin working for newspapers, by writing either special feature stories or
26、articles of 43 interest. However, in order to get a story ready, they have to follow a certain procedure. Firstly, research on the story has to be carried out and the information checked.
