In this section we will publish each week a simple remark or advice related to idealism in journalistic work.
The ideal journalist is a man loved by everyone. Everyone who reads his work benefits, and finishes reading grateful to him, desiring to read more… And everyone who reads his work grows in certainty and confidence, and becomes steadfast in the ideals he possesses.
The opposite is the journalist whose writing leaves your mind confused, your conscience doubtful, and question marks standing in your thoughts with no answer…
You lose the purity of your heart, and your trust in people is shaken — or in the writer, or in some principles or basics…
People do not like those who confuse their minds, nor those who disturb the purity of their hearts. For this reason, some refuse to read certain writers.
The ideal journalist presents to you radiant ideas, unlike the other journalist who offers you nothing but a dark picture, or distorted images, along with confused thinking.
