The idea

What is said to the media stays inside what the evidence supports, at the certainty the body of evidence actually carries.

In practice

A reporter will often offer a stronger claim than your evidence supports, phrased as a question. Declining it is this strand's whole discipline.

Your place on the trail

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
