Annotation: The issue of information collection and reporting has been offered as a course at several universities from the past to the present. This course that is provided to all students enrolled in departments such as communications and media have more significance than it is currently believed to have. Rules of news reporting are violated frequently in news articles in both national and local news. The main reason for this is that not only individuals who receive journalism training but also everyone has been involved in reporting. However, another important point is that even people who have journalism training do not abide by rules, follow the organization they work for, accept mistakes to be the rule and continue report the information they collect this way. Preventing such problems will be possible by comprehension of news reporting rules by students in information collection and reporting courses and practicing news reporting frequently.
