Unit 9 Where Is the News Leading Us?

1. The other was … a newsman to the core – tough , aggressive, and savvy in the ways and means of solid reporting. (P. 1)

The other was a newspaperman through and through -- uncompromising, energetic, and intelligent about how to report reliable news based on facts.

2. The news media seem to operate on the philosophy that all news is bad news. Why? Could it be that the emphasis on downside news is largely the result of tradition – the way newsmen are accustomed to respond to daily events? (P.5)

The different ways of providing news, i. e. , the newspaper, television, and radio seem all to follow the belief that all news is bad news. Why is this so? Could it be because people are used to dwelling on negative news as a rule and because newspaper people are generally sensitive to such news when facing everyday happenings?

3. I am not suggesting that “positive” news be contrived as an antidote to the disasters on page one. Nor do I define positive news as in-depth reportage of functions of the local YMCA.(P.9)

I do not mean to propose that we make up some "good" news and use it as a remedy for the catastrophes reported on the front page. Neither do I consider good news as a thorough and detailed news story about how the local YMCA operates.

4. News people provide us with the only picture we have of ourselves and of the world. It had better be a true portrait – and not a caricature – for it is this picture on which we will base our decisions and around which we will plan our future. (P.11)

What the news media report on us and on the world is the only information about ourselves and about the world we get. Such reportage had better be faithful to our life - and not be a distortion - because we must rely on the truthful picture of our life to make our decisions and plan our future.

5. The acquired culture is not transmitted in our genes. The good life in the good society, though attainable, is never attained and possessed once and for all. What has been attained will again be lost if the wisdom of the good life in a good society is not transmitted.”(P.12) The knowledge that you come to possess by your own efforts over a long period of time does not become part of your inborn character. You may be able to earn the good life in a good society, but such good life cannot be yours permanently. If the understanding of the good life in a good society is not passed on, you will lose what you have earned.
