c. a reporter includes his or her opinion in a story.
d. a reporter identifies his or her sources of information.

C. A reporter identifies his or her opinion in a story.

Explanation:

An unbiased reporting is the key concern of effective journalism and if a reporter begins including his or her personal opinions in a story, it would be altered as per his/her perceptions and beliefs which may provide a fictional angle to the story and divert it from the reality. A reporter should act as a catalyst similar to what T.S. Eliot has said for the author in "The Tradition and Individual Talent" that the work of art here the news story should not have any imprint of the author's here the reporter's personal traits or opinions. Except C, all other options are elements of good reporting. Thus, we can conclude that in order to convey the authentic and unbiased news story to the viewers, it is essential for the reporter to not involve him/herself or their opinion into it and show it as it is.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
