Chicago protest stands in solidarity with activists against Dakota Access Pipeline
Original reporting (OR) is a difficult form for reporters who don't have prior experience with Wikinews writing. Extensive documentation is called for. OR is discussed at WN:OR; amongst the points there, The other main kind of article here is synthesis. You may want to take a look at WN:PILLARS, WN:WRITE, and if applicable, WN:OR. --Pi zero (talk) 12:00, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * If you participate in a protest, you cannot also neutrally report about it. "If you are planning to report about a demonstration, choose beforehand what side you are going to be on: you can join the protest, or be a neutral reporter."
 * Prepare ahead of time for covering an event, so you can document at the time (which is vastly superior to writing down what one remembers afterward). Various recording technologies are sometimes used; a classic, still and always one of the best available options, is to take handwritten notes (certainly other forms of notes can work too; the more documentable the better).  Materials that you don't want to make publicly visible can be provided to article reviewers by emailing them to "scoop at wikinewsie dot org".
