As I was searching for articles
relevant to the worldview of journalism, I found a blog, not quite an article,
but it still provides great insight. It’s
titled “Feel the World” and it’s a Chinese journalist’s view on journalism in
general, some of the time he talks about healthcare, other times he talks about
school, it’s interesting to hear an Eastern perspective though. The URL is http://floraxu1220.wordpress.com. It’s quite interesting!
I liked the group’s presentation today,
they did a great job with the poll and established that even in a place like
BYU, there is quite a bit of diversity.
It kind of ties in with what the British speaker (I can’t remember his
name) about being objective. It’s
important sometimes to be objective, but as he said “we’re human, and you can
try to hide your opinions but they will show.”
I think that it’s important to remember that we should try to write with
passion, but understand when it’s important to be objective as well.
The other website I found useful in
researching this topic was journalism.org.
The article I found was http://www.journalism.org/node/8621. It talks about journalists in Iraq and what
it’s like to collect news on the frontlines of a battleground. It’s very interesting if you’re thinking
about international dangerous journalism (I’m not sure how many of you are appealed
by dangerous journalism). Journalism is
different wherever you go, and obviously it’s very dangerous in Iraq.
All in all, great presentation by
this week, I really liked the survey portion of it. Good work.
