Doing news is doing things, and doing things is simply being a man. In fact, I have been facing the same problem:
What kind of person do you want to be?
Do what kind of things?
How to do things?
Some people make a living in this line, some people only pursue decent jobs, and some even pursue red envelopes and black-hearted money. Differences must lie in the heart. If this conflict can't be solved well, he will never have a chance to become a good reporter.
So, I can easily get the answer:
Be the right person.
Do the right thing.
Do things correctly.
It will take a lifetime to practice this answer.
Life owned by human beings is the seed of happiness. Krishnamurti said that life is more than work and career. Life is extremely vast and profound, and it is a great mystery. In this vast field, we are more fortunate to be born as human beings. If we live only to make a living, we will lose all the focus of life.
Life is like a closed circle, it is so irregular. Beyond the circle is the whole external world we face. Only by truly and comprehensively repairing the source can our relationship with the outside world be harmonious. The time we spend on it will be the end of our lives.
So is the news. News is alive, the key is to find the factors of her life. Her beauty, moving, sexy, mysterious and dark personality, and all kinds of unknown things. The more you know her, the more you will love her; The more harmonious your relationship will be. News is also an irregular circle, and we also need to spend a lifetime repairing its relationship with the outside world, and the tools for this repair are courage, kindness and patience.
What helps him grow may not help you grow. Each of us needs the help of external forces to achieve our goals. Because time and space are changing, life is dynamic, and external forces are constantly changing.
How to become an industry reporter?
How to be an industry reporter?
How to write a good news report?
In other words, on the one hand, these problems show that our understanding of "news" has been sublimated to a higher level, on the other hand, they can probably reflect the quality of various media under our group and some problems of journalists' own quality.
So, every time, I will tell myself:
Do it.
Go write it.
To think.
I don't know if this is a trick, but the only thing I can do is to keep reading, discovering, thinking and writing, and then tell myself that my news must be better than the last one!
Sometimes I feel that doing news is like falling in love. One can never get love through hard thinking, and happiness can only be achieved through personal experience and practice.
Action is the best teacher. News is written, not imagined. Learning is just a training mode. Don't expect to find a shortcut once and for all through learning.
I have heard a "trick" about reading, that is, reading famous books and great stories, not those popular books that are almost rubbish. Only those great stories can make us understand how proud it is to tell the story well.
News is a story. A story that has happened but needs someone to tell. Good news is a good story; A good reporter is an outstanding storyteller. News, like novels, is a story. The essential difference between the two is that news is not a novel, but a novel is a novel. There are many kinds of non-fiction themes, and news is the one with the highest timeliness requirement.
Everything must return to faith. You can be the person you believe! There are countless forks in the road to faith. At this time, there is no difference in talent, ability and luck. The key is your choice.
What you choose, you become.
From time to time, I am also thinking about how to be a good reporter. A reporter's duty is to report news. A good reporter should be able to tell readers the in-depth and valuable news you dug up from a good angle and in a good way.
It is not complicated to say, but it is not easy to do.
First of all, it is not easy to say it in a good way! This means that journalists should have a good professional level, be able to become "experts" in the industry, be good at telling stories and report your findings from different angles and different sides. This ability is not formed overnight and needs long-term practice, practice and accumulation.
Secondly, we should be good at watching, listening, thinking and smelling valuable news contacts. This is even harder. Journalists must have a macro grasp and strong sensitivity to the whole industry. I have to feel it for myself.
Reporters often encounter difficulties, hardships, accidents, feelings, shocks, surprises and even life-threatening in the process of going deep into the scene. When all this became the imprint of life, journalists not only increased their experience, but also purified their hearts and learned about life. This kind of thing can go through fame and fortune, through life and death, and become the soul behind news works, which will be used for life.
Just like this Wenchuan earthquake, a reporter friend who witnessed the scene came back and told me that when he arrived at the first scene and ruins of the disaster, he was completely shocked by what he saw; Tears flowed involuntarily, and my heart ached to the extreme.
He said, there are countless bodies, thousands of bodies, wrapped in white cloth, spread out in front of their eyes, reaching into the distant sky without end. In front of them are rows of densely packed bodies, and many bulldozers are working at the same time, covered with a thin layer of loess, forming a "ridge". There are also large and small pits, which are densely white.
He showed me a photo taken at the scene, in which a 10-year-old boy knelt beside a body in the middle of the pit, red-eyed and staring blankly. Above the little boy's head, there is a dumper of a bulldozer, full of soil, ready to dump. Time suddenly stopped, the boy didn't move, and the machine didn't move. For a long time, the world was frozen into such a strange picture. ...
Suddenly, I understood a lot of things.
Anyone, no matter who you are, will face the same problems as Hamlet without exception. No one can cross life and death, but the mind can.
Life has a strange trajectory, left or right, whether it happens or not, full of accidents.
People choose all the time in their lives. Many casual choices were saved, and many casual accidents appeared. At a certain time, there will be some changes-changes in life, and even great changes that determine fate.
What accident happened? It is the catalyst of these changes and the essence of life. The accident itself is unpredictable. But what will happen after the accident may be a necessity. At least one thing is true. The accident will treat you the way you treat it. In other words, you can be what you want to be.
Of course, it is not easy to figure out what kind of person you want to be. Perhaps, before we fully understand, the only thing we can do is to be kind to life and career.
In fact, if you are serious, you will have passion and another taste of life.
Industry reporter is a very special profession. They are the watchmen of the industry, the participants of the times and the witnesses of history. Their vision is dazzling, their world is colorful and their life is ordinary.
Industry reporter is a very common occupation. Like all professions, the process of being a journalist is also a process of being a man. Being a good reporter is like being a good person. The hardest thing is to surpass yourself.
This is also my experience in the days when I became attached to the news. Although it is difficult to do, it is a beacon of life and the best motto written by many old journalists to young journalists.
Being a good reporter is inseparable from normality. Because choosing this career means facing a lot. People, from the leaders of ministries and commissions, the richest man in the industry, to grassroots people and beggars; As far as things are concerned, it may be difficult, it may be difficult, it may be dangerous, it may be ordinary ... Only with a normal mind can we treat people equally and calmly; In order to complete the work scientifically and reasonably.
Of course, having a normal mind does not mean losing passion. This seems contradictory, but contradiction is the essence of life. Journalists, especially industry journalists, need enthusiasm and common sense, and the "degree" between them can only be grasped by time to experiment, ponder, comprehend and taste.
As long as you pay, you will always get something.
Perhaps, the harvest will suddenly appear at an unexpected time.
Every day, all you need to do is accumulate, accumulate and accumulate again. ...
