The Associated Press (AP) which was founded in 1846 is an American not-for-profit news agency which provides wire news to its members and customers. In the story by Lindsay Whitehurst about the impact of the Coronavirus crisis on the disabled people, I would go to Salt Lake City to get more information about the real effects. I would also call relevant individuals who would serve as credible sources to the story. The readership would thus get more value from the news. To gather more information, I would call Mayor Erin Mendenhall, who is the 36th mayor of Salt Lake City. I would ask the mayor about the plans and policies that they have put in place to combat the coronavirus pandemic that is adversely affecting the disabled.
Additionally, I would call Governor Gary Herbert to gather more information about the impact of Coronavirus pandemic in the wider Utah region. Lastly, I would call the Utah Division of Services for People with Disabilities to gather more information about the opportunities and services that can be used to help the disabled individuals during the pandemic. The information obtained from the three sources would contribute to the pursuit of objectivity through the obtainment of the correct information from those in authority and attributing my information from them. Also, the information obtained from the sources will enable me to avoid making judgements plus steer clear of ambiguity and doubt. Mapping, which involves the creation of maps from data, can be used to improve the quality of this story by looking closely at how many disabled individuals are adversely affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
