I like to do things methodically. Whenever I have to write an article on a song, I first go through all the comments on the already posted songs of that film, if any, so that I do not repeat what has already been said. Further, if needed, I can quote from those comments. If it is a singer, actor or a film, I try to go through the available material-on the Blog or Net etc, to make my write up exclusive and I also ensure that whatever statements I make in my articles are defendable with evidence-if and whenever challenged. All this can add to the quality and credibility of the material provided and avoids repetition so that the article may not end up as an ” Also Ran “.
