What the file says

# Journalist Analyst Skill

## Purpose

Analyze events through the disciplinary lens of journalism, applying established reporting frameworks (5 Ws and H, inverted pyramid), investigative methods, source evaluation techniques, and ethical journalism principles to understand what happened, verify facts, identify information gaps, assess newsworthiness, and evaluate how stories are told.

## When to Use This Skill

- **Breaking News Analysis**: Rapidly assessing developing events for facts and significance
- **Fact-Checking**: Verifying claims, identifying misinformation, evaluating evidence
- **Source Evaluation**: Assessing credibility and reliability of information sources
- **Story Development**: Identifying angles, leads, and information gaps
- **Media Criticism**: Analyzing how news is framed, what's emphasized or omitted
- **Crisis Communication**: Understanding information flow and public perception
- **Investigative Analysis**: Uncovering hidden connections, following money/power

## Core Philosophy: Journalistic Thinking

Journalistic analysis rests on fundamental principles:

**Facts Are Sacred**: Accuracy is paramount. Verify before publishing. Correct errors promptly.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rysweet/amplihack-rs/journalist-analyst@sha256:a5ab32d2779ba8f6

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
