Unit 2 News Media Reading Behind the Headlines
Newspapers and other media do more than simply record what happens.Experienced editors and reporters
make informed decisions about what events to report and how to report them.
They also make sure that readers can relate to the stories.
We asked two of China's many talented journalists,
Chen Ying and Zhu Lin,to tell us more about news and newspapers.
The two reporters agreed to switch roles for once and be the interviewees
rather than the interviewers in order to let us know about their work
and how the news we read is made.
How do you decide what you are going to write?
Before I decide what I'm going to write,
I have to discuss the article with my editor.
He listens to my ideas and gives me his suggestions.
For long and important articles,
for example a feature story,
the editor will tell me how I should develop the story.
The editor's job is to keep the newspaper balanced
and interesting to the readers.
Much of a reporter's work is donebefore he or she actually starts writing.
A reporter begins by contacting the people to be interviewed
and then prepares questions.
Interviewing someone is difficult.
A reporter must know how to ask the right questions
and how to get people to talk about the topic.
After the interview,the reporter must present the material in an organised way
and make sure that the article reflects events and opinions truthfully.
Which of the articles that you have written do you like best?
My favourite article is the one I wrote about the
efforts to bring stolen cultural relics back to China.
To write this story,I had to contact famous museums around the world
and interview both Chinese and international experts in the field.
I like the article because it's both news and an interesting story.
Even though I have interviewed many famous people,
the story I like best is about an ordinary young woman
who tried to adapt to her new life after having studied abroad.
I like the story
because it was the first time that I had written with real passion
and because it made me realise that everyone's life is different.
If you could write any article you want what would you write about and why?
I want to explore the mysteries in life.
I would like to write about music,art,nature
and the importance of spiritual fulfillment.
I want to write about people you seldom read about,
for example people who have AIDS or who are addicted to drugs.
Their stories must be told if we want to solve difficult social problems
and help those who suffer from them.
For a reporter,the basic task is to report an event truthfully.
We shouldn't ignore what happens
even if it is difficult for people to accept some stories.
The media can often help solve problems
and draw attention to situations where help is needed.
For example,newspapers like China Daily
or The People's Daily help us understand what life is like in other parts of China
and the rest of the world.
Carefully written articles
can help people become interested in important questions around the world.
TV programmes and printed articles
also help people in other countries learn about China and the Chinese people.
The result is a better understanding of the world on all sides,
leading to a future world where people from all countries are respected
and different views and opinions are tolerated.
Integrating skills
Reading speaking and reporting.
A small group of fewer than a hundred people caused trouble for worker
sat our city's most successful company today.
The rude and noisy group made it difficult for the workers to get into the factory
Fortunately,most of the trouble-makers left peacefully after the police arrived,
but a few of them fought with the company's guards
and had to be taken to the police station.
More than ninety responsible and caring citizens made their voices heard today.
The citizens, all of whom love nature and our planet,
demonstrated outside the city's worst polluter.
Brave and strong,the activists talked to workers outside the factory
and left a positive message about protecting the earth.
The peaceful meeting ended when the company sent out a group of angry men
armed with sticks to fight with the citizens.
