The Ideal Journalist (11)
The Ideal Journalist (11)
In this section we will publish every week a simple note, or a piece of advice… related to idealism in journalistic work.
The ideal journalist is not merely a writer, or a collector of information; rather, he is a leader of thought, and a man of goodness and righteousness…
He has lofty goals that people respect, and they respect him because of them.
They feel that he represents deep values and high ideals.
And they know for him a pure style that agrees with the ideals he calls for.
Thus, in their view he is ideal in his principles, in his language, and in his style.
They see that he is their living, speaking conscience, and their loud, audible voice—speaking what they feel, sensing what they sense, and speaking in the language they love, with their own tongue.
Among the harshest things that tire the reader is to read what collides with his conscience, and what troubles his love for ideals… Either he refuses to read such a journalist, or he forms an opinion about him: that he lives outside of ideals.
