Journalists should have what business quality

The business qualities that journalists should have include: the habit of continuous learning; the persistence of the pursuit of truth; objectivity and impartiality; accuracy and simplicity of style; willingness to suffer; rich and broad knowledge; tolerance and kindness; frugality and moral character.

Nowadays, journalists need to strengthen the four qualities: legal quality, ability to obtain information, professional quality, humanistic qualities.

The details are as follows:

Legal qualities

As China's legal system continues to promote the construction of the law, knowledge of the law has become the necessary quality of every citizen, and as a journalist, the responsibility of guiding the correct public opinion direction.

However, with the prosperity of the newspaper market, individual newspapers and magazines in the market competition in the guiding ideology of deviation, in the guidance, style, regulations on the problem constantly.

In 2001, the number of public penalties imposed by the Central Propaganda Department and the General Administration of Press and Publication and the General Administration of Radio, Film and Television on various news media across the country for violating the law (misguided orientation) is also getting higher and higher.

At the same time, the frequent occurrence of fake news and unfair reports, as well as the phenomenon of media judgment overriding judicial trial, also indicates that the legal awareness of news practitioners needs to be improved.

In order to win the fierce news competition, the news media, when reflecting public opinion and guiding public opinion, pay due attention to their own economic interests is no excuse.

However, if in order to expand circulation and solicit advertising needs, in order to maximize economic benefits and take improper or even illegal means, in reflecting and guiding public opinion, ignoring the objectivity, impartiality and social responsibility, in the long run, the credibility of the media and prestige in the hearts of the audience will be greatly reduced, thus affecting the entire journalism, the development of the media industry, and the development of the journalist's personal development will also have a very negative impact on the journalist. The personal development of journalists will also have an extremely negative impact.

To solve this problem, the most effective way is to improve the legal quality of the majority of journalists, not only to establish the concept of the rule of law, but also to master the knowledge of the law should be known should know, good in the Constitution and all the laws and regulations within the scope of good news reporting and public opinion monitoring, once the violation of the law will have to bear the corresponding legal responsibility.

They have always emphasized the need to cover the news according to the law, run the edition according to the law, and require editors and reporters to be vigilant at all times and in all areas, especially in the areas of intellectual property rights, citizens' rights and interests, and so on, which are often involved in the raising of the standard of requirements.

In addition, they also invite lawyers from the newspaper from time to time to analyze and explain the stage or annual case situation, key cases, and the newly promulgated and implemented laws and regulations, and insist on checking and improving their work carefully against the judicial advice.

The author also believes that the corresponding legal courses should be set up in the undergraduate and postgraduate courses of the journalism and communication majors, so as to cultivate the legal quality of future journalism talents as early as possible.

Access to information

In the work of journalists, the most meaningful and challenging thing is to get news clues.

In the past, although the news dissemination education also provides a lot of methods to find news clues, but in the rapid development of the knowledge economy today, relying only on these traditional ways have been far from being able to adapt to the requirements of the development of society, in order to find good news clues, but also must have a strong ability to obtain and process information, so it is necessary for journalists to master some of the intelligence and informatics and other aspects of the knowledge.

Over a long period of time, journalists, especially some big newspapers, party newspapers, journalists to obtain news leads are a large part of the "work", that is, should be some *** departments and enterprises invited to attend the press conference, and then make the corresponding report, this form of work lack of initiative, creativity, and for a long time will also be The reporter's inertia.

Another common way for journalists to work is to look for news clues at random, where the news happens to go, what events are reported on what news.

This form of short-term flexibility and timeliness of the characteristics of the news, but the news more and more pay attention to planning, news dissemination of the "agenda-setting" function is more and more attention to only pay attention to the coverage of breaking news has been far from being able to meet the audience's needs and the overall needs of the news business.

Therefore, journalists can learn and use some of the intelligence research methods, such as social research method, bibliometric statistical methods, mathematical analysis, system analysis and evaluation methods, historical research methods, etc., to make their own in-depth study of the news coverage and careful arrangements.

With sufficient preliminary work, we can ensure the high quality of news reporting.

In short, the level of information utilization has become an important standard for measuring the level of journalists.

Professionalization

The so-called "professionalization of journalists" means that every journalist should strive to become an expert in the field of reporting he is engaged in.

In the information society, the division of labor is more refined, the audience's knowledge and cultural level of enhancement, journalists need to be all-rounded on the basis of the transformation to expert, has become an inevitable trend.

Expert journalists are characterized by having the basic qualities of an ordinary reporter, while also having expertise in a certain area.

From a practical point of view, nowadays journalists with professional backgrounds are increasingly favored by the media and news organizations.

Although the professional composition of journalists is still dominated by journalism and Chinese language, the proportion of those who enter journalism with a professional background in economics, management, law, politics, etc. is increasing.

Most of the newspapers have not restricted their recruitment to any specialties, and some financial newspapers have specialized in recruiting talents in economics, management, and other related fields.

China Business News made it clear that it does not pursue the timeliness of news, but is committed to in-depth reporting and background reporting, the pursuit of hot focus, the pursuit of deep and vivid, the pursuit of novelty and uniqueness.

Its demand for specialized knowledge is also imaginable.

Humanistic qualities

Some people have put forward the media quality of the "hive theory", that is, there is a fire like the * * * *, there is a sea like the mind, there is steel like the spine, there is a mother like love, there is a hound dog as keen as icebergs like the cold. The first is the "Iceberg", which is a cold, cool, and stern.

These six aspects form a hexagon, which is the basic framework of an outstanding media person.

It's like a hive, and the media person is the bee that grows in the hive.

The more proportional the hexagonal shape of the hive, the higher the quality of the bees and the better the honey.

The author thought that this is also in some way the image of the media people's humanistic quality requirements.

Of course, improving the humanistic quality of journalists is not something that can be realized overnight.

The only way is that the news business units in the process of retraining journalists, business "recharge", learn from the successful experience of foreign universities, optimize the news curriculum and teaching mode, reduce the teaching of writing, editing skills of the course, increase the social sciences and humanities, such as economics, political science, law, history and language and literacy, etc. The goal is to enable journalists to have more available capabilities and to develop into a broader space.

Journalists - commonly referred to as journalists - are full-time reporting staff of news and communication organizations.

At the same time, it refers to journalists in general, including editors-in-chief, editors, reporters, broadcasters, communication staff, etc., is a timely, truthful, effective, objective, impartial attitude to the public dissemination of information for a profession.
