答案
Journalists have a very demanding job, travelling to the world’s trouble spots. Visiting all sorts of events, using all sorts of sophisticated equipment to tell us what is happening in the world, and what is happening closer to home. All this is very subjective. Journalists select what they collect, and their editors select what will be published.
In some countries the press and news media are strictly controlled by the government, who make sure that people are told what they want them to hear. Journalists risk persecution and even death if they do not do as they are told.
In other countries, such as Britain, there is a free press, and, although not perfect, it is respected throughout the world. People tune in to the BBC World service, or if they live in countries, such as the Netherlands nearby, they can listen to the programmes live. In such countries journalists have more choice. Libel laws mean that they cannot print something personal that is untrue. Privacy laws mean that someone’s privacy must be respected and journalists can be prosecuted for breaches. A journalist, then, must be honest and trustworthy to report what they have seen and heard accurately. They must be respectful, especially as regards privacy. If they interview people, it helps if they have ’done their homework’ and research the topic to be discussed. Good interpersonal skills, the ability to put people at their ease and to get them to talk is important. Depending on the type of work they are undertaking, they may need a high standard in the language they write in. At one time, in England, it was usual for newsreaders and journalists to use "the Queen’s English" , "received pronunciation" or the accent of London and the south. Today, a well-educated personal with a regional accent— especially a Welsh one—is equally regarded.
If a country’s government controls the press, journalists are expected to report according to the ideas of that government, so what they say will usually reflect that. The public may well feel that they are not trustworthy, especially if they have the means to show that what is said is not really what happened. With a free press, there is less likelihood of journalists not telling the truth as there is no need to lie. Listeners appreciate that the reporter tells what they see and will often say so.
