MY FIRST WORK ASSIGNMENT

“Unforgettable”, says new journalist

Never will Zhou Yang(ZY) forget his first assignment at the office of a popular Engli

sh newspaper. His discussion with his boss, Hu Xin(HX), was to strongly influence hi

s life as a journalist.

HX: Welcome. We’re delighted you’re coming to work with us. Your first job here w

ill be an assistant journalist. Do you have any question?

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. Lat

er you can cover a story and submit the article yourself.

ZY: Wonderful. What do I 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 tak

e photographs. You’ll find your colleagues very eager to assist you, so you may be a

ble to concentrate on photography later if you’re interested.

ZY: Thank you. Not only am I interested in photography, but I took an amateur cours

e 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 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 you 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 note?

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 to 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

skeptical. So we arranged am interview between the footballer and the man

supposed to bribe him. When we saw tem 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.
