Open Letter to an Editor

I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently –one who wors for you. In fact, he’s one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.

Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume （简历）and photocopies of si stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he taled about how he finds issues （问题）, approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I’m sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really lies his job. He has a great assignment （分工）, and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to eep him, he said. He nows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you’ve given him, taes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.

So why is he looing for a way out?

He taled to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.

The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually as how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.

He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get ecited about what he’s doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, eploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That’s what you want for him, too, isn’t it?
