MY FIRST WORK ASSIGNMENT “Unforgettable” says new journalist
Never will Zhou Yang (ZY)forget his first assignment at the office of a popular English newspaper.His discussion with his new boss,Hu Xin (HX),was to strongly influence his life as a journalist.
HX:Welcome.We're delighted you're coming to work with us.Your first job here will be an assistant journalist.Do you have any questions?
ZY:Can I go out on a story immediately?
HX:(laughing) That's admirable,but I'm afraid it would be unusual!Wait till you're more experienced.First we'll put you as an assistant to an experienced journalist.Later you can cover a story and submit the article yourself.
ZY:Wonderful.What do I need to take with me?I already have a notebook and camera. HX:No need for a camera.You'll have a professional photographer with you to take photographs.You'll find your colleagues very eager to assist you,so you may be able to concentrate on photography later if you're interested.
ZY:Thank you.Not only am I interested in photography,but I took an amateur course at university to update my skills.
HX:Good.
ZY:What do I need to remember when I go out to cover a story?
HX:You need to be curious.Only if you ask many different questions will you acquire all the information you need to know.We say a good journalist must have a good“nose”for a story.That means you must be able to assess when people are not telling the whole truth and then try to discover it.They must use research to inform themselves of the missing parts of the story.
ZY:What should I keep in mind.
HX:Here comes my list of dos and don'ts:don't miss your deadline,don't be rude,don't talk too much,but make sure you listen to the interviewee carefully.
ZY:Why is listening so important?
HX:Well,you have to listen for detailed facts.Meanwhile you have to prepare the next question depending on what the person says.
ZY:But how can I listen carefully while taking notes?
HX:This is a trick of the trade.If the interviewee agrees,you can use a recorder to get the facts straight.It's also useful if a person wants to challenge you.You have the evidence to support your story.
ZY:I see!Have you ever had a case where someone accused your journalists of getting the wrong end of the stick?
HX:Yes,but it was a long time ago.This is how the story goes.A footballer was accused of taking money for deliberately not scoring goals so as to let the other team win.We went to interview him.He denied taking money but we were sceptical.So we arranged an interview between the footballer and the man supposed to bribe him.When we saw them together we guessed from the footballer's body language that he was not telling the truth.So we wrote an article suggesting he was guilty.It was a dilemma because the footballer could have demanded damages if we were wrong.He tried to stop us publishing it but later we were proved right.
ZY:Wow!That was a real “scoop”.I'm looking forward to my first assignment now.Perhaps I'll get a scoop too!
HX:Perhaps you will.You never know.
我的第一项工作任务“难以忘怀”,新闻记者说
周阳永远不会忘记他在一家很受欢迎的英语报社的第一项工作任务。他同新上司胡新的讨论对他的记者生涯必将产生重大的影响。
胡:欢迎你。非常高兴你来和我们一起工作。你在这里首先是当助理记者。有什么问题吗?
周:我可以马上外出采访吗?
胡:(笑)值得表扬,但是恐怕这样就不太合乎常规了!等到你比较有经验以后才行。首先我们要派你给有经验的记者做助手。以后你就可以自己采访新闻,提交新闻稿了。
周:太棒了。我需要带什么?我有一个笔记本和一个相机。
胡:不需要相机。你将带上一名专业摄影师去拍照。你将发现同事们会热情地帮助你,因此如果你对摄影感兴趣,以后你可以集中精力去研究它。
周:谢谢你。对摄影我不仅仅是感兴趣,在大学里我还参加过业余摄影班提高我的水平呢。
胡:很好。
周:我外出采访时还需要记住些什么呢?
胡:你需要保持好奇心。只有问很多问题,你才能得到你想得到的信息。我们说,一个好的记者必须有对新闻非常敏锐的“嗅觉”。那就是说,在人们还没有说出全部真相之前,记者就要能够作出判断,并力求发现真相。他们必须通过调查研究,来使自己了解被遗漏的那部分情况。
周:我还要注意些什么呢?
胡:下面是我的行为准则:不要超过最后期限,不可对人粗鲁,不可自己说得太多,务必认真倾听被采访人的回答。
周:为什么倾听这么重要呢?
胡:你得听清楚事实的细节。同时,你还要根据被采访人所说的话准备提出下一个问题。 周:但是怎样才能在作记录的同时听清对方的话呢?
胡:这就是我们职业的诀窍了。如果被采访人允许,你可以使用小型录音机来记录下全部事实。如果有人提出质疑,这也有用。你就有证据来支持你的报道。
周:我明白了!你有没有遇到过这种情况:别人控告你的记者,说他的报道失实呢? 胡:有,不过这是很久以前的事了。事情是这样的:一位足球运动员被指控受贿,故意不进球,好让别的队赢球。我们去采访了他。他否认受贿,但我们很怀疑。因此我们为足球运动员和那个被认为行贿的人安排了一场采访。当我们看见他们在一起时,从足球运动员的身体语言猜出他没有说出真相。所以我们写了一篇文章暗示他曾受贿。这事有些为难,因为如果我们出错,足球运动员会要求赔偿。他试图阻止我们公布该消息,但后来我们被证明是对的。
周:哇!那真是独家新闻。我现在盼望得到第一个任务。或许我也能找到独家新闻! 胡:你也许会。谁知道呢。
