- 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 troth 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 rode,
- 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.
