When Daniale, an inexperienced journalist, was asked to write an article on the H1N1 virus and submit it within a few hours, just a day after the virus first broke out, she turned in an article that can be described as confused at best.
 
  Which of the must-follow principles of a mass media writer prevented her from writing a good article, and why?
 
  a) Know the subject; since it was a new subject and she did not know enough about it to write a good article.
  b) Know the language; since she did not know the language of the country the virus was found in.
  c) Write it down; since she did not have enough time to write it down.
  d) Edit and rewrite; since she did not enough time to edit her work.
