How do news writers get their stories leads?

Answer 1

first the reporter writes the story and then he shows it to his boss he reads it and if he thinks it is good enough he will send it off to be published.

Answer 2

News writers typically get story leads from various sources such as press releases, official statements, tips from the public, social media trends, interviews with experts, attending events, or from their own investigative research. Developing a network of contacts and sources within different industries or communities also helps news writers uncover new story leads.
