Wie können Sie Quellen in Ihrem Storytelling effektiv zitieren?

Try quoting (preferably speaking to first and then quoting) hitherto unknown faces who have significant knowledge of the subject or issue. Generally people have a tendency to spam quote those who are referred to in bounty. This way you can do a great service in acting as a catalyst. Bringing unknown faces and making them visible is an important aspect of a thinker, writer or leader.

Effectively citing sources in your storytelling is crucial for maintaining credibility and providing transparency to your audience. One thing I have found helpful is weaving citations seamlessly into the narrative, making them a part of the story. I also attribute quotes, paraphrased content, or specific ideas to their respective sources. Include hyperlinks wherever possible so that the audience can look it up straight away. A consistent citation style ensures an organized and professional look to your story as well.

Use sources that are reliable based on the specific audience and/or publication for which the writing is intended. The acceptance of references can differ greatly depending on the specialty or field and are typically outlined in the style guide of the publication.

When I worked as a journalist, I found it helpful to speak directly with those involved in the stories I covered or authorities in the field I was covering. For example, human angle stories meant me speaking with family members of the persons involved. I could quote them as saying - The father of the missing children, Mr. Tunde Kadiri said ..... At a time, my office worked the benefits of having Concrete roads compared to Tarred roads. We met with the CEO of Dangote Construction Company Limited, Mr. Ashif Juma who spoke wit us and contributed immensely to the project and publication. We quoted him verbatim. Recordings can also be done after taking permission of course. Journals and websites can be quoted and the credits given to them.

Trato siempre de hablar con la fuente en primer lugar. Y luego para completar la historia me documento. Si cito algo que no es de mi puño y letra referencio la fuente secundaria.

Este punto es crucial, ya que con la democratización de Internet en las casas desde los años 90 y la proliferación de la navegación online desde cualquier dispositivo actualmente, es cierto que puedes encontrar mucha información de valor en emisoras/es anónim@s. Esto genera tentaciones en mucha gente que opta por apropiarse indebidamente de textos y/o imágenes, adueñarse de ideas para contenidos en RRSS o directamente suplantar perfiles. A pesar de esta facilidad de apropiación indebida, también es relativamente fácil dar con la persona impostora pillando en renuncio y mermando así su credibilidad. Hay una delgada línea entre inspirarse y copiar. Si pides permiso y sigues especificaciones de autor/a, tu credibilidad será incuestionable.

In the form of communication that I have been led to, personal integrity and willingness to look the fool is more important than citing correct resources because what I teach will reach the heart and soul of the individual or it will not, based on its relation to truth and their readiness. Now, not everyone speaks on topics like this, though I do suspect that eventually we all will because only this type of communication has the means to move the world and the psyche of human consciousness into the place of healing where we need to be. A footnote to this is to add that AI grammar and I do not always (dare I say often?) agree because there are some nuances/pauses that communication needs to bring that cannot be contained with conciseness.
