Discussion
In the context of media ethics, an investigative journalist can report a story based on :
Answer: B
The story should rest on facts investigated and verified by him/herself.
Investigative journalism is defined by original reporting: the journalist gathers documents, records and testimony, cross-checks them, and can stand behind every claim. Codes such as the Press Council of India's Norms of Journalistic Conduct require accuracy and verification before publication.
Hearsay is unverified, relying on others' opinions or work is not original investigation, and fictional events have no place in news reporting.
