The reporter must attend the council and school board meetings and then for his readers draw an accurate word picture of the proceedings. Without some prior knowledge of what to ex- pect at a meeting the work of the reporter is made more difficult and the risk of error is increased. It was noted in Gordon McIntyre’s recent study of the educational sys- tem in the Alberta city of Medicine Hat that the board of education sends the agenda for each meeting, prior to the meeting, to the press, radio and television reporters. Mr. Mc- uable for among other things it would allow the reporter to prepare any background material on a subject prior to the meeting. In assigning coverage it would allow an editor to assess the main news points of that particular meeting. It would enable the reporter to brush up on the sub- jects to be discussed. It would also enable him to refresh his memory on what has been done on the same matter on previous occasions and thus be better able to make a more accurate report of the business dis- cussed by council, board or com- mittee.
