A Good Journalist as I See Him
- The public right to know of events of public importance and interest is the main task of the mass media.
- They serve to inform people of different events that take place or may happen.
- They not only entertain people or even help to make their lives better, they also bring to people different information.
- Usually daily mass media carry some international, state and local news.
- I think a person of journalist plays a great role in mass media.
- I believe the duty of journalists is to serve the truth.
- To my mind, a good journalist has to gather and present the news with intelligence, objectivity, accuracy and fairness.
- Journalists can speak unpopular opinion and agree or disagree with the majority through the pages of the papers.
- A real journalist must be free of obligation to any interest other than the public’s right to know.
- Many writers during long periods of their lives worked as journalists.
- Mark Twain is one of them.
- He worked as a journalist in newspapers in Nevada and California during the years of the Civil War.
- His witty style, characterizing all his following works, was formed during his work in “Territorial Enterprise”.
- So, a good journalist’s credo has to be – any information should be true, democratic, it should address contemporary life and embrace all aspects of life.
- He has to be a born writer of great talent.
- The conversation has to be witty, humorous and often exact and precise.
