Story Sourcing from Twitter

  • Why is this a story?

Because it has a lot of relevance for both English and American news organisations (mentions of Sterling, a significant player in English football, and America who won the world cup this summer), as well as being relevant to readers that have interests in football, homophobia, racism, sexism.

  • How would you follow it up?

By making sure I had all the correct information about Rapinoe’s career (as well as Sterling’s, and others that are mentioned), then, I’d research all the latest information on the specific issues of sexism, racism, and equal pay in football.

  • Who would you speak too?

I would speak to football fans/players who have been personally affected by the issues Rapinoe mentions in her speech.

  • What would you ask them?

I’d get their opinions and solutions to the issues mentioned.
